Marine debris will likely worsen in the 21st century

Current measures to prevent and reduce marine debris are inadequate, and the problem will likely worsen, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council. The United States and the international maritime community should adopt a goal of "zero discharge" of waste into the marine environment, and a system to assess the effectiveness of existing and future marine debris prevention and reduction actions should be implemented. In addition, better leadership, coordination, and integration of mandates and resources are needed, as responsibilities for preventing and mitigating marine debris are scattered across federal organizations and management regimes.

Oceanography Isn't the Same As Marine Biology

When I attend a middle school or high school career day, I often have a student tell me, "I want to be an oceanographer." But as we talk more, I realize that what the student really wants to be is a marine biologist. Or sometimes it's the other way around - the student says "marine biology" when he or she is thinking of oceanography. What's the difference? Basically, it comes down to this - an oceanographer studies the oceans, a marine biologist studies marine life.

Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary In Fair Condition, Facing Emerging Threats

A new NOAA report on the health of Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary indicates that the overall condition of the sanctuary’s marine life and habitats is fair.

Cleaning ship hulls with a robot

This is the goal of a EU-funded project called HISMAR (Hull Identification System for Marine Autonomous Robotics). European researchers and engineers are working on an automated robotic cleaning system that removes marine growth from the hull of a ship. By cleaning a ship’s hull, this robot will allow ships to travel through the water more efficiently by cutting down on drag — and of course reducing fuel costs. The researchers said this robot acts like a vacuum cleaner — in or out of the water. A prototype will be shown next week at the Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology Conference in Hamburg, Germany (SMM 2008). But read more…
