Opération "Soleil levant

L'histoire de la recherche du sous-marin japonais I-52 est celle de deux découvertes séparées par le temps et l'objectif. En 1944, dans la nuit noire de l'océan Atlantique, les navires anti-sous-marins de la marine américaine ont recherché une rencontre clandestine entre des équipages allemands et japonais. S'appuyant sur des renseignements recueillis, ils ont cherché à surprendre et à couler les deux sous-marins. Un demi-siècle plus tard, le I-52 n'a toujours pas été découvert sur le fond marin, mais cette fois-ci, les recherches se sont déroulées dans l'obscurité des profondeurs de l'océan, à la recherche d'une possibilité et non d'une destruction.

A Slug’s Life

At the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut, nudibranchs have become storytellers for an issue facing our oceans that is difficult to understand yet imperative to know about: global climate change. The aquarium has taken a unique approach to educate the public on this global threat. Their new exhibit, A Slug’s Life: Facing the Climate Endgame, showcases the adored mollusk and runs through Sept. 6, 2021. The exhibit’s specific intent is to help guests understand the warnings that changing slug populations provide about the health of their habitats.

Aw Inspired

Michael Aw’s early life while growing up in Singapore — he didn’t see the ocean until age 17 — gave few clues that he would one day become one of the most influential print journalists in destination diving and ocean conservation. The author of or major contributor to 43 books, Aw created Ocean Geographic magazine in 2007 and also leads expeditions, often to exotic regions. He now hopes to raise awareness of the folly of shark-finning and the overexploitation of our marine resources.
