Guy Harvey Tags Tiger Sharks

Tiger Shark – Bahamas. Photo by: Wolf Leander Today there was a good article in the Miami Herald written by Susan Cocking about Guy Harvey and a group of researchers tagging Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas. Article was well written and in no way sensationalizing the interaction with sharks. It seems like the long term goal of studying the Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas is to protect them for fishermen – what a beautiful thing that would be…

Sea Lion Habitats: temperature control is a key factor

Scientists are continually researching some basic questions regarding biodispersion and animal behavior. With shark research, they are looking into why sharks congregate in certain areas, particularly with sharks that migrate. It has only been in recent years that marine scientists have identified migration routes for great white sharks. Now the question is why? What attracts them to a particular area? Is it because of an available food source, a particular geography, temperature, or some other environmental factor? With white sharks, the jury is still out, but an article in the Journal of Mammalogy examined the habitat preferences of California sea lions and found that the geography of the site played a critical role. The study examined 26 sites in the Gulf of California and found a preference for sites with larger rocks, lighter color substrates, and convex (bulging outward) shorelines. These characteristics play a key role in providing a more comfortable temperature environment as California sea lions are susceptible to heat stress. This then brings up the issue of climate change and the impact that rising sea and air temperatures can have on sea lions and other pinnipeds. Will these sea mammals be able to successful adjust and/or move and find thermally suitable habitats for breeding and day-to-day existence? Will the migration of pinnipeds to new locales upset the local balance of the predator-prey hierarchy? As often is the case in science, one question leads to several more. [ This is an external blog.

Employment

     As you all know the economy has been a bit slack lately. Many industries have been hit pretty hard and some regions worse than others. The construction industry has been one of the hardest hit.
   I figured that the Dive Buddy Network might be a good place to put out that I am looking for new gainful employment. If any of you great people know of any good construction companies out there looking for a competent construction superintendent have them contact me. I am willing to relocate , (especially if they are close to any cool dive spots)
   I have over 22 years experience in commercial, industrial and residential construction, most of which has been in management. I’ve held general contractors licenses in California and South Carolina.
      Thanks in advance.  KEEP ON DIVING

Study: Height of large waves changes according to month; ‘not the same height in winter and summer’

“Anybody who observes waves can see that they are not the same height in winter and summer, but rather that their height varies over time, and we have applied a ‘non- seasonal’ statistical model in order to measure extreme events…
