Beyond every shoreline lies a sea, a seemingly uniform body of water with turbulent, ceaseless movement that joins the coastlines into a continuous whole, showing no sign of the borders and labels we set upon it.  

The Deep Seas

Despite being the most inhospitable environment on Earth, the deep sea is home to an astonishing variety of life. It is puzzling how such a wide variety of species could have evolved in the face of such seemingly inhospitable habitats – and yet they...

Can Space Robots Survive in Deep Sea?

A team of engineers who developed robots at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston have decided to apply their expertise to designing a shape-changing submersible robot that promises to dramatically cut costs for a host of maritime industries, reports gCaptain.

Space Vs Deep Sea

“What NASA really taught us to do is to put together robust software autonomy with a capable hardware morphology and deploy it in a remote setting,” said Nic Radford, founder, chairman, president, and CEO of Houston-based...

Port of Gdynia launched market test for new deep-sea and container terminals

Port of Gdynia Authority announced the launch of a market test of private partners and financial institutions for the purpose of the planned project named “Construction of the Outer Port in the Port of Gdynia”.

The project involves the construction of a new deep-sea port terminal along with a container terminal with an annual transshipment capacity of 2.5 million TEU. The new facility will enable oceanic Baltimax size container ships to dock in the port.

Fisheries, environmental organisations worried over potential impacts of deep-sea mining

The DSCC (Deep Sea Conservation Coalition) welcomed the call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining in international waters by the Long Distance Fleet Advisory Council (LDAC) of the European Union. LDAC highlighted concerns by scientists, the fishing industry and environmental organisations regarding the possible affects on fisheries, fish and other species in the oceans and loss of marine biodiversity due to deep-sea mining.

The International Seabed Authority is now in the process of developing...

Deep sea microbes could provide clues for Earth’s early life

Deep-sea microbes can provide clues to the evolution of life on Earth, according to a recent paper in The ISME Journal. Researchers used molecular methods to study these microbes, which thrive in the hot, oxygen-free fluids that flow through Earth’s crust.

Called Hydrothermarchaeota, this group of microbes have never been cultivated in a laboratory for study. A research team from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, and the Department of Energy Joint Genome...

EU proposes measure to protect deep-sea species in North-East Atlantic

The European Commission (EC) has proposed Total Allowable Catches (TAC) for a number of species for 2019 and 2020, in order to restore deep-sea fish stocks in the North-East Atlantic. These new measures will enable stocks to rebuild to sustainable levels.

EC’s proposal is based on precautionary scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES), and considers the obligation for fishermen to bring to land all catches as of 1st January 2019.

The proposal reduces...
