Another interesting read given all the interest around hydrogen albeit from a different human interest angle - deep cave diving using a concoction that includes hydrogen. We have much to thank for the small group of folks, i.e the scientists, enthusiasts, professional hobbyists etc who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible across the various fields of human endeavour from the deepest oceans and highest mountains, to outer space. #diving #oceangraphy #scientificachievements #pushingthelimits #discoveries

Why Don’t Sea Creatures Implode? Diving into the deep sea is no easy feat for humans. Unlike deep-sea creatures, our bodies aren't built to handle the immense pressure. Creatures near hydrothermal vents, like certain worms, don't have air-filled sacs, so they don't face pressure differences that could crush them. Whales and fish, however, have to expel air from their lungs as they dive deeper to avoid the same fate. The problem for us isn't the pressure on our limbs but the pressure difference in our lungs. It's a fascinating reminder of how diverse and specialized life in the deep sea truly is.

What’s missing from this edition of “positive ocean news” you might ask? Given the media headlines perhaps you were expecting Jersey’s decision on Marine Protected Areas as part of the Marine Spacial Plan to be considered good news? Given we are a signatory to the #30by30 pledge (protect 30% of our territorial waters by 2030) you might have expected this once in a generation plan to target that. Or even close to it. However our newish environment minister has scaled back the MPAs from the original plan from 27% to 23%. Including removing the proposed protection for over 50% of our Maerl beds. To be clear, an MPA isn’t a “no take zone”. You can fish and boat in MPAs, you just can’t dredge fish or tow mobile gear. Because this method is hugely damaging to marine life, the seabed and has issues with by-catch and the loss of fishing gear into the sea causing hazardous pollution. So the passing of the Marine Spacial Plan was not the good news it could have been. When this subject came up with a friend in the industry, these are some of the reasons given as to why the protection shouldn’t be provided: ⏱️ those fishermen have always fished there/dredged there 🪦 it’s all dead already 🚜 it’s like ploughing a field, it’s necessary for growth and getting oxygen into the seabed 💰 it’s only 6 boats from Jersey, you can’t take away their livelihood 🇫🇷 the French boats do it It’s really hard for me to gently educate and challenge this kind of thinking, where we think we have a god-given right to damage the planet, take what we want and deprive future generations of natural capital. It’s hard to present the science on blue and green carbon, the damage of existing practices on sea and land and the long term economic unsustainability of this activity. Yet not 5 minutes later we were talking about the catastrophic decline in abundance of fish and seafood, the species that have vanished from our waters and the invasive species getting a foothold in an unbalanced system. So it’s not great news for our territorial waters this month and I just hope the MSP paves the way for further protections and that those it has guaranteed are enacted very quickly to protect what we can.

Salps are a major predator of open-ocean microbes, but little is known about their taste in prey. Researchers SCUBA diving off the Hawaiian Islands collected salps and then quantified their predation rate of various open-ocean microbes. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/RfCP50R00Jq

@monarchacademyca ・・・ 🌥️☁️ We have been diving into the fascinating world of clouds! Our students are exploring the four main types: 1. **Cumulus** - Fluffy and white, these clouds are often seen on sunny days. 2. **Stratus** - Layered and gray, they can bring light rain or drizzle. 3. **Cirrus** - Thin and wispy, these high-altitude clouds indicate fair weather, but can signal a change. 4. **Nimbostratus** - Thick and dark, these clouds are associated with continuous rain. Fun fact: Did you know that cumulonimbus clouds can reach heights of over 60,000 feet and are responsible for severe thunderstorms? 🌩️ Let’s keep learning about how these clouds affect our weather! #Clouds #WeatherEducation #ScienceIsFun #monarchacademy #mississaugaschool #mississaugamoms #oakvillemoms #torontomoms

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS.

THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.
