Sea bacteria like this which resembles a thick mucus membrane is becoming more and more common, and scientists fear that its spread could cause danger to sea animals and humans alike. The sea mucus can potentially carry E.Coli and is sometimes so thick that it actually suffocates fish. [via]
Jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Drifters of the deep from Eugenia Loli-Queru on Vimeo.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is back again with another magnificent video of sea creatures (previously, they shot a video of the fish with a transparent head). This time it features a bunch of different kind of jelly fish which normally tend to scare me a bit, but I can stand them here because I’m watching them through a monitor through a glass enclosing. Nice.

Peter Baker’s dog was the cause of the recent underwater volcanic eruption near Tonga.
The Monte Galineiro sinks into the sea
February 24, 2009 @ 5:39 am
The Canadian Coast Guard released these photos of the Spanish ship, Monte Galineiro, taking on water off the coast of Newfoundland on Sunday, February 22, 2009. The Canadian Coast Guard managed to rescue all 22 people on board the vessel before it sunk into the sea.
I wonder if there’s a video of this event. If so, I’d love to see it.
How ships get launched into the sea
January 15, 2009 @ 10:37 pm
According to what I just watched on YouTube, there are really only 2 ways to put a ship into water. You either drop it in (for lifeboats and other small watercraft) or you slide it in. Now, there are 2 ways (also according to what I’ve just watched on YouTube) that you can slide a ship into water. You can have it go in one end first and gradually have the whole ship in water, or you can push the entire ship from one of its sides and watch as the ship violently rocks back and forth waiting for buoyancy to take over.
And that second option is very exciting to watch! So click inside to see some impressive videos of big things staying afloat!
Human Animals by Corey Arnold
December 16, 2008 @ 4:52 pm
Corey Arnold is a photographer and also an Alaskan crab fisherman. For at least 3 months a year, he is aboard the F/V Rollo in the Bering Sea capturing intimate moments with his fellow crew members and life-forms captured at sea. His pictures are very awesome, and I especially like his Human Animals series.
I’ve included a small gallery of my select favorites below, but I’d highly recommend checking out all of his work on his website. He has several shows lined up for the coming year, one of which is in New York at the Sara Tecchia gallery on 529 West 20th Street in March 2009.
