Unique facts about shark wild life that are rarely known
A study reveals the surprising social life of sharks. Apparently, some sharks have a spirit of solidarity.
The study focused on the social behavior of 41 reef sharks around Palmyra Atoll, 1,600 km southwest of Hawaii. Shark life is monitored using acoustic transmitters to track them and cameras for clarity on their attractions.Sharks form stable social communities over time. The same individuals continued to carry out joint activities during the four years of the study.Sharks are extraordinary animals and are still quite misunderstood," said Florida International University marine biologist Yannis Papastamatiou.
The reef shark is medium in size, reaching about two meters in length. Its social life has similarities with certain birds and mammals in terms of stability over time. However, they differ in a number of ways, including nesting, mating, and sounding.
The researchers suspect that the sharks flock together to ensure that the various individuals of them find prey. Sharks can keep their company together for several years.
"For some time, we have known that sharks are able to recognize specific partners and groups and have social preferences," said marine biologist and study co-author David Jacoby.
"Our research reveals, for the first time, that they (sharks) are actually able to maintain friendships for several years," Jacoby added.
However, according to Papastamatiou, this kind of group life is not always practiced by sharks. There are also some sharks that live alone.
"I like to talk about their 'secret life', not because they want to keep it a secret, but lately we are developing tools to start seeing and understanding their social life," Papastamatiou said.
"Not all sharks are social and some tend to be solitary," he added.

The moment when the adult green turtle eats algae
Adult green turtles are similar to herbivorous sea turtles. Their main food is seagrass or algae, which live in tropical and subtropical waters. But the chicks are assumed to be omnivores to accelerate their body growth. There is likely a gradual transition as the turtle reaches a size large enough to escape its predators.

Challenging Vacation, Diving into Shark's Nest in the Socorro islands
Socorro Islands, about 250 miles south of Cabo San Lucas. This remote chain of volcanic seamounts is uninhabited, but underwater, it's a metropolis of marine life. Divers regularly see a wide variety of sharks — including hammerhead sharks, silk sharks, Galapagos sharks, silverfin, whitefin, tiger, and even whale sharks — and frequently encounter mantas, dolphins, humpback whales, and more.
Due to its remote location and on the high seas, Socorros can only be visited by liveaboard, and it takes a full 24 hours to get there from Cabo San Lucas. Once you arrive, you'll be rewarded with pelagic shark action unlike anywhere else. Roca Partida, a solitary peak rising from the depths, is one of the best places for rare blue water encounters with species like the oceanic whitefin.

IDENTIFICATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINING AT THE SENGGILING SHIP SUNNING SITE
Stakeholder analysis of underwater archaeological resources on the north coast of Bintan Island is an integrated part of the North Sumatra Archaeological Research Program with the title Archaeological Survey on the North Coast of Bintan Island, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province which was carried out in 2018 and 2019 located in the waters of the Gulf. oath. Stakeholders related to underwater archaeological resources at the research site are classified into three, namely government, community, and academia. The problems raised are related to the various types of underwater archaeological resources and their management potential in the future. The stakeholder analysis study aims to determine the potential for underwater archeology and conflict management policies between stakeholders that will emerge. The method used is to classify data and issues related to the management of archaeological remains on the northern coast of Bintan Island. These issues provide an overview of the potential conflicts that occur in the waters of Sumpat Bay. The conflict potential is then analyzed using one of the conflict analysis tools, namely onion analysis. The results of the stakeholder analysis show that there is a similarity in needs that become the node of the conflict, namely land use. Good conflict management for the long term in the process of managing underwater resources is by negotiation. Negotiations can be in the form of deliberation to make mutual agreements that are able to accommodate the interests of stakeholders. The agreement is related to the empowerment of communities around the north coast of Bintan Island, especially people who use coastal and marine areas in the waters of Sumpat Island.

Surrey Lake Park
The Surrey Lake Park is best known for its sign on 152nd street that motorists zip past on their way somewhere else. Such was my experience for years! Never really giving it a thought as I made my way along. Well with Parks-on-the-air I now had a reason to visit and to see what there was hiding just off the pavement. We noticed the park on the list a few months back and today we finally were able to get out there and activate the park in the POTA program.
