AAM Delivers R/V Osprey to UNCW
AAM’s Bellingham, WA facility, R/V Osprey has arrived in Florida and is currently making her way up the coast to her home port of Wilmington, NC. There, she will support UNCW’s faculty, students, and research partners conducting scientific and educational missions along the Mid-Atlantic, U.S. East Coast, and offshore waters.Designed by Teknicraft Design in Auckland, New Zealand, the 73’ x 26.7’ twin-engine catamaran was built and inspected to USCG Subchapter T standards. The vessel is equipped to conduct a broad range of missions, from oceanographic surveys and biological studies

The platform is now being marketed to underwater fleet operators across energy and defense markets.Expanding Market ReachNauticus expanded its presence in offshore wind along the US East Coast, completed work with a major global subsea cable-laying company, and is pursuing additional opportunities on the US West Coast and Internationally.Nauticus is also evolving its international commercial model to pursue opportunities where the Company can serve as the primary contractor and capture
Sharks Fitted with Sensors to Help Hurricane Predictions
From the killer shark of "Jaws" to the tornado-tossed predators of the "Sharknado" movies, films long have portrayed sharks as objects of summer fear. But when a shark cuts through the waters off the U.S. East Coast, it now may be doing more than hunting. It may also be gathering data that helps scientists understand the potential intensity of a hurricane before it makes landfall.University of Delaware researchers are testing whether sharks can serve as mobile near-real-time ocean-data observers, carrying sensors that measure ocean conditions to inform oceanographic, atmospheric
Greensea IQ’s Hull Cleaning Service Expands to Port of New York and New Jersey
Greensea IQ announced the expansion of its EverClean hull cleaning service to the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port complex on the U.S. East Coast and the second-busiest container port in the country. With operations now based in Monroe Township, NJ, EverClean is well positioned to serve the region’s extensive container shipping fleet with proactive, in-water hull grooming.EverClean’s robotic service removes microfouling before it becomes a problem, optimizing vessel performance, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering emissions. Unlike traditional in-water cleaning
An Unintentional Iron Fertilization Experiment
beyond 42 north, but we expect that impacts would reach up to Alaska.”There are likely key areas of anthropogenic iron release in South America and Southern Africa that will grow over time, he says. It’s also likely that there were significant emissions during industrialization of the US east coast and throughout western Europe that would have added iron to the North Atlantic. These would have been most intense during the 20th century, and the impacts on the Atlantic resulting from this have probably come and gone.“Our results indicate that a widespread unintentional iron fertilization
NOAA Predicts Cooler Deep Waters for Gulf of Maine
The Gulf of Maine, historically one of the fastest-warming ocean regions in the world, is predicted to experience cooler bottom water temperatures this spring and summer, according to a new experimental outlook developed by NOAA scientists.Initial signs of this shift were reported by NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center and documented in the NOAA Fisheries 2025 New England State of the Ecosystem Report.Data shows that since late 2023, the Northwest Atlantic has seen cooler bottom-water temperatures due to the southward movement of the eastern portion of the Gulf Stream and possibly an increased
TDI-Brooks Concludes Geotechnical Campaign Off Turkey
TDI-Brooks, a U.S.-based marine services company specializing in geotechnical and offshore survey projects, has completed its fifth geotechnical investigation for DenAr Ocean Engineering in Black SeaThe RV NAUTILUS was dispatched to the Black Sea from the US East Coast to facilitate this operation. The geotechnical aspect of the investigation included 49 gCPTs, 50 JPCs, 48 CPTs, and 41 BCs.Additionally, an environmental component was incorporated, which comprised 27 Environmental BCs, 28 CTDs, 19 water samples, and 180 kilometers of marine fauna transects.TDI-Brooks provides a comprehensive range of
Maine Wins Federal Floating Wind Research Lease
The Biden administration on Monday issued an offshore wind lease to the state of Maine for a small project that will demonstrate floating turbine technology off the U.S. East Coast.The lease area covers 9,700 acres (3,920 hectares) and is 28 nautical miles (52 kilometers) from shore, an area that could accommodate up to 12 floating offshore wind turbines that could generate about 144 megawatts of electricity.Floating wind is widely acknowleded as the future of offshore wind, as it is able to tap stronger winds further from shore. It opens opportunities, too, for companies serving the offshore oil and
