In a move impacting tech enthusiasts and divers alike, Apple has announced the cessation of sales for its Apple Watch Series 9 and the dive computer-equipped Ultra 2 models in the United States. This decision, effective from December 21st, 2023, arises from a patent dispute with medical device maker Masimo.
The conservation of endangered species receives a technological boost as scientists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) devise an artificial intelligence (AI) method that accurately counts manatee populations in real-time.
Counting manatees has long presented a challenge due to their herding behaviour, weather conditions, time of day and environmental factors that obscure their visibility. Water reflections can also hinder the counting process.
I mÄnga fall baseras bestÄndsbedömningen pÄ fiskeberoende data som genereras frÄn fiskmarknader eller creelundersökningar. Antagandet Àr att ju lÀgre fÄngsterna Àr under en viss tidsperiod, desto mindre bör fiskbestÄndet vara.
Jag tycker att vraket och all den omfattande marinarkeologiska kunskapen och forskningen kring bÄde fartyget och dess mÄnga föremÄl Àr djupt fascinerande, och jag missar aldrig ett tillfÀlle att besöka museet och dess mÄngfacetterade utstÀllningar varje gÄng jag kommer till Stockholm. Jag tröttnar aldrig pÄ det, för man fÄr alltid veta mer om hur livet var ombord pÄ skepp under 1600-talet.
Led by the laboratory of Professor Jonathan Shurin at the School of Biological Sciences, the research examines how aquatic systems respond to burnt plant matter, including its effects on food webs. Published in the journal Global Change Biology, two studies by the researchers highlight several key findings. They demonstrate that wildfires chemically alter plant debris, fundamentally shifting the role of aquatic ecosystems in the carbon cycle. Additionally, the research underscores the importance of these ecosystems as carbon sinks, storing carbon in their sediments.

A recent study in the Biophysical Journal reveals that Arctic seals are able to efficiently retain heat and moisture during respiration as a result of the elaborate structures in their nasal cavity.
The NAUI Innovation Award is a testament to DAN's unwavering commitment to advancing safety, education, and exploration of the underwater world. This recognition reflects DAN's pioneering efforts in promoting safe diving practices, supporting dive education, and continually enhancing the diving community's experience.
