Underwater Metal Detectors Help Solve Crimes
“Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, and it cannot be wholly absent. Only its interpretation can err. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it can diminish its value.” – Paul L. KirkJW Fishers Mfg says that its Pulse 8X underwater metal detector has long been the “go to” for public safety dive teams, police departments, government agencies and other forensic teams across the globe who are tasked with locating missing evidence. This missing evidence can help solve crimes and provide families with closure.It is a commercial grade

Northwest, and this investment in science will help us make the right choices and help protect salmon for years to come.""From the California Coast through upstream rivers, Chinook and coho salmon populations have plummeted, leading to catastrophic consequences for the environment and for fishers, tribes, businesses and families who depend on healthy salmon fisheries,” said California Senator Alex Padilla. “As climate change continues to threaten these populations, this funding is critical for establishing a science-based, systematic plan for urgent Pacific salmon restoration
Shipwrecks Teem with Underwater Life, from Microbes to Sharks
into habitat also enrich the surrounding sand. Evidence from deep Gulf of Mexico wrecks shows that a halo of increased microbial diversity radiates outward anywhere from 650 to 1,000 feet (200-300 meters) from the wreck. In the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of grouper, a type of reef fish highly valued by fishers, congregate around and inside shipwrecks.Groupers and a conger eel, bottom center, on the wreck of the German submarine U-576 off the coast of North Carolina.

How to Make Indonesia’s Blue Economy More Viable
in Indonesia – the world’s largest archipelagic nation and the richest in marine biodiversity – is complex.Furthermore, Indonesia is preoccupied with wild capture fisheries, aquaculture production, and commodity supply chains for local and global seafood supply chains.Meanwhile, local fishers with small boats have had little traction in Indonesia’s marine and fisheries governance, despite their important roles in ocean protection.Displacement of small-scale fishersSmall-scale fisheries are integral to sustaining food security and livelihood in Indonesia.Nearly 96% of fishing vessels

miles) offshore, the U.S. Army Corps has granted permits for 235 seaweed projects since 2018.Citing concerns over entanglement, the federal government now regulates rope use in the lobster fishery and has implemented seasonal closures. The waters of Cape Cod Bay, for example, are off limits to lobster fishers until all right whales have left.For states with a large dependence on the lobster fishery, the seaweed development agenda smacks of hypocrisy."Maine would have concerns about large aquaculture project siting, particularly with intensive reliance on ropes to grow kelp, at a time when Maine
Floating Offshore Wind: New Seascape, New Challenges
, Wise said, is part of the work going on with Aqua Ventus. If everything gets marked, Wise said that raises concerns about too much clutter, that mariners may turn off radar and other equipment because signals are overwhelming.Wise said this is particularly important for commercial fishing because fishers are more likely to work within WEAs not just transit through. Wise referenced work with lobster fisherman in Maine, seeking their advice about keeping transit corridors safe but without overloading warning devices or systems, inadvertently creating a deluge of information for humans and machines

, like mining and drilling, are permitted.Third, successful marine protected areas must be planned, designed and managed equitably. An open process is crucial to earn public support. This includes co-managing and incorporating traditional knowledge from Indigenous peoples and the experience of local fishers and other people who use the area.Finally, once a marine protected area is established, it needs to receive adequate political support and financing, particularly for projects that rely on international investment.Raising the barApplying these criteria will help policymakers develop more effective
Recovering Evidence with Technology
are a massive, crime related item actively being sought by investigators on scene. Phones contain multiple sources of information that could lead investigators down the right path of case solving, becoming essential to recover. The Pulse 8X is the perfect tool to help locate that missing evidence. JW Fishers Mfg., Inc has been a producer of metal detectors for police, sheriff departments, government agencies and dive rescue teams. The Pulse 8X is the “go to” metal detector for those who want a commercial detector that can handle the rigors of police and underwater searching on a constant
