Paradise lost? How cruise companies are ‘eating up’ the Bahamas www.theguardian.com/environment/...
What is crazy is that the destructive practices, like this sediment plume extending over 1km of reef into a National Park(!) is brazenly visible on Google Maps maps.app.goo.gl/VFsYkfk2AZav...

Hello to new followers! I am a marine ecologist 🌊🧪 and lead the Cape Eleuthera Institute in The Bahamas 🇧🇸. I have lots of research interests from fisheries to the deep-sea (this paper captures some of them) doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...
I’m also interested in science culture, open science & policy

I’ll be speaking at 11:00 ET about how we are using our #openaccess FigShare repository at the Cape Eleuthera Institute to address issues around Access & Benefit Sharing and data sovereignty knowledge.figshare.com/webinar/bala...

4/n Now the last two: I don’t immediately recognise them either. Anyone able to enlighten me if they represent real subs?

3/n I didn’t recognise the other one at the top, but looking online I pretty sure it’s the Stanley Submarines Isabel submersible- I had assumed the stickers were using substantial artistic licence but seems to be pretty accurate! stanleysubmarines.com/submarine/

The next immediately jumped out out to me was the Triton sub in the middle. This seems a pretty distinctive shape and I have been lucky enough to dive in one in my home country of The Bahamas: dsbsoc.org/highlights/4... HT @dsbsoc.bsky.social

So the first one to catch my eye was the one at top right that looks like the OceanGate Titan sub. Is the tapered tail cone unique / distinctive? I had no idea Titan had made it so mainstream (presumably before the tragedy).

Hey #ocean science peeps! 🌊 I had never noticed till today but the submersibles in the stickers my kids have seem to be based on real subs. Can you guess which ones / help me figure them out?🧵1/n

Love this - quintessentially #British stubborn eccentricity! Lord Sainsbury detested the false columns of the gallery wing he was funding, so he insisted on having a letter buried in one of the columns to gloat once they were demolished www.bbc.com/news/article...
Where would YOUR letter be buried?

The ‘biotic desert of the deep-sea’. Ouch! Don’t think #deepsea biologists would accept this characterisation. 🧪

I posted this on the other place and it struck a nerve, so seems fitting for my first post here. x.com/bahanick/sta...
