Rubymar Sinking Puts Coral Reefs At Risk
catastrophe the region has experienced in more than a decade, Sawalmih said.An overload of fertilisers can stimulate excessive growth of algae, using up so much oxygen that regular marine life cannot survive. This creates dead zones where nothing lives.Fertilizers often also contain traces of harmful chemicals which are toxic to marine life."Fishing communities along Yemen's Red Sea coast in Hodeidah and Taiz will be impacted by the contamination," said Mohammed al-Basha with U.S. analytics company Navanti Group. This could lead to lower catches and damage to livelihoods.Yemen's

state of the marine environment, how eXXpedition was formed and their current Round Britain scientific surveying and awareness-raising outreach activities. Emily Penn, eXXpedition Co-founder and Ocean Advocate, said, “eXXpedition is about gaining a greater understanding of the harmful chemicals and plastics in our seas, and how they may impact our environment and health. “The samples we take from the Thames, and from all around the country, will be shipped off to be analyzed by specialists at universities in the U.K. and the U.S.” Paul Rose, who
ACT 2 Sludge Devouring Device Installed in Drill Ship
have 2 and 3 digit values. The ACT2 Piranha systems are designed to digest sewage and paper into pure, odorless and colorless water to meet EPA water reuse standards, thus making it more pure than any navigable body of water on the planet. The systems do not use chlorine or other harmful chemicals that are banned in Europe and other Countries around the world. The Piranha systems also meet the more stringent land based Sewage Treatment Plant requirements. All Piranha units are sludge digesters and do not use corrosive saltwater to dilute the sewage to legal limits before
Next Generation of CTDs Smaller, Smarter and Tougher
the organisms get a foothold. This wiper has low power requirements, an optimal design for continuous monitoring. Where the sensors connect to the instrument body, EXO uses blended copper-brass alloy components to resist biofouling build-up. Copper is a passive anti-fouling agent and does not use harmful chemicals to clear biofouling. On the body of the instrument, Xenoy is well-suited for rigorous cleaning, such as scraping off barnacles, and can be taped or painted with common anti-fouling paint without “crazing,” or cracking over time. Big Success in a Small Package The EXO water
Hull Cleaning Solutions from Subsea
cost effective ship operations. Environmentalists continue to keep ships in the spotlight by focusing their attacks on the air pollution produced by ships. Regional and local port authorities remain focused on keeping their waters free of invasive species and metals like copper, nickel and other harmful chemicals potentially released during routine hull maintenance cleaning and propeller polishing. Considering the fact that more and more local port authorities are closing the door on hull cleaning and propeller polishing, the Subsea Solutions Alliance has been focused on finding methods of performing
