China stellt seinen dritten Flugzeugträger in Dienst
Es ist ein Meilenstein für die chinesische Marine: Der selbst entwickelte Flugzeugträger "Fujian" ist offiziell in Dienst gestellt worden. Das Schiff ist deutlich größer und moderner als die beiden Vorgänger.
USA erhöhen Druck auf Venezuela - Flugzeugträger entsandt
Die USA verstärken den Druck auf Venezuela und verstärken ihre militärische Präsenz in der Region. Hintergrund sind US-Aktionen gegen angebliche Drogenboote. Brasiliens Präsident kritisiert das Vorgehen Washingtons.
Abspaltung von Thyssenkrupp: TKMS startet fulminant an der Börse

Gestern kreiste ein #Hubschrauber mit solch einem torpedoförmigen Gegenstand , tief über #Dornum. Sehr dicht über dem Boden und auch sehr nahe an den #Windrädern. Die #Sonde hatte eine gewisse #Eigendynamik, da muss der Pilot schon wissen was er tut. #Respekt!
Die Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) will untersuchen, ob das Grundwasser versalzen ist. Bis Ende Mai werden bei Erkundungsflügen zwischen Norden und Aurich deshalb Daten gesammelt.
The annual Wooden Boat Show at Port Townsend, WA, doesn't catapult you back into time; it gently leads you there -- quietly and calmly, in the same way that the boats themselves glide peacefully through the water.
She writes beautifully and clearly about seals, mainly in New England, and why humans seem to love them so much; and why this has caused problems.
In the last couple of months I developed a deep and abiding love for seals (all pinnepeds but mainly seals), and am now attempting to read everything about them (I already watch at least ten seal videos a day. Follow Michael Boyd on all the socials for seals of my approval)
Pinnipeds are a very playful and inquisitive group of mammals, and there are 33 different species of them alive today. Some of them can been seen battling it...
I met some nephews I’ve never met before. In New York City. They were in awe of the fact that I know individual whales and their names and babies’ names and their personalities. They think I’m a rock star. That’s so fun
They’re too young for me to say cetaceans are always needed

This teacher got the memo: we got a thank you note that said, “We are o-fish-ally booked and can't wait tuna sea the beautiful Monterey Bay Aquarium. Thank you for the fishsistence.”
I discovered something delightful this year. I have sea legs. Perhaps because I come from an island, and I have never lived far from a sea. My idea of ‘home’ is ‘small and annoying cities by the sea’.
I am never sea sick.
I know how to manipulate my body on a boat.
I know when to sit at the hull, and when to avoid it.
I have a special technique for stabilizing myself on the side of the boat while something exciting is happening in the distance.
Lately, I have learned: in which direction I should point my camera, on a wildly unstable boat, just sensing and hearing the sound and huff of a whale spout right as it happens.

On the joys of whales, lumpfish, the ocean:

I participate in speculation about why whales slap their pectoral fins. Nobody knows for sure, but it is fun to imagine.
Some days, I am surrounded by so many whales, whale spouts, whale flukes, that I don’t know where I should look.
I see specific whales and dolphins and I know some of their names. I was happy to learn that a humpback calf I had seen in May now had a name (Mr Magic).
I point out specific whales to friends and say; that one is Pepper. That one is Little Dimple. I’m not a marine biologist but I listen to every word from naturalists and marine biologists about each of the creatures in our backyard.
Some spotted a whale breaching. The captain (who calls himself Only Fins), floors it, so that I can get this photo.
Going out on a small boat regularly to see whales, and soon, orcas, was the pillar of my mental health I didn’t know I needed.
I wish I can go back in time and tell the younger version of me: one day; you will know many whales, some of them by name.
- some southern sea otters eat so much purple sea urchin that their skulls turn purple - the whales in Monterey bay don’t need to do bubble net feeding because there is so much food, unlike the situation for whales elsewhere - California sea lions work with humpback whales where the sea lions corral the fish, the whales open their mouths and feed, and any fish that comes out stunned is picked up by the sea lions - a sea urchin’s mouth is also called Aristotle’s Lantern (watch a video) - Mola Mola eventually evolved the ability to retract their eyeballs into their sockets so that when they were lying on the surface, having their parasites cleaned by gulls, they won’t peck out their eyes too - the orca in Monterey don’t eat the whales, but they like to nip at them.
