(ENN) Australia's scientific agency has been doing a lot of research in the Antarctic during this Year of the Ocean, and one of their recent discoveries is a source of dense, oxygen-rich Antarctic Bottom Water which breathes life into the world's oceans. Dr. Steve Rintoul, a Southern Ocean specialist at CSIRO Marine Research and the Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre in Hobart, has identified a section of the Antarctic coast directly south of Tasmania as the source of one quarter of the Antarctic Bottom Water formed. Cold air near Antarctica cools the ocean to the point that sea ice begins to form. As ice forms, salt is released to the water beneath the new ice. Both the low temperatures and higher salinity make the surface water heavy enough to sink 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) to the bottom of the ocean, hence the name Antarctic Bottom Water.

Terri Paluszkiewicz Oceanography Research Scientist Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Sequim, Washington Tell us about you job? What inspired you to pursue this career? My job is a research scientist in oceanography. Right now, I work for the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which is a Department of Energy research laboratory working on clean-up of the environment. Oceanography covers all of the things that happen in and effect the ocean, and my specialty is the study of the circulation in the ocean (motion in the ocean, for short), and how the flow in the ocean distributes pollutants. I chose this career after I discovered in high school the fascinating world of physics and the really interesting environment of the oceans. What are the major sources of marine pollution? Where does it go when it enters our bays and oceans? There is a large amount of pollution that comes from trash that people throw into rivers, bays, and oceans . . . from the shore and from boats. This trash, especially plastic wrappings and containers, never degrades or goes away and can harm the sea life. Marine mammals mistake plastics for jelly fish and can choke; the plastics become entangled on fish and mammals and cause great harm. Most trash does not sink so it is carried along with the currents and tides and becomes distributed along the coast. Because it does not sink, it is also a threat to seabirds.

Interview by Jill Wolfson , San Jose Mercury News; and Mariel Haag Senior, Prospect High School Interview photos by Len Lahman , San Jose Mercury News Transcribed by Jean Ricket, Tech Museum volunteer Mariel Haag Internationally renowned as the ambassador-at-large to the world's oceans, Dr. Sylvia Earle, 61, is the former chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a distinguished marine biologist, a veteran of more than 6,000 hours underwater, leader of the first team of women aquanauts and holder of a depth record for solo deep diving, 1000 meters. Sometimes referred to as "Her Deepness," Dr. Earle is the founder of an ocean engineering firm and is an eloquent spokeswoman for marine conservation. Her 1995 book, "Sea Change: A Message of the Oceans," (Fawcett Columbine) has been described as a Rachel-Carson-like plea for the preservation of the oceans. Her honors include the Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Director's Award of the National Resources Council. When not underwater, Dr. Earle lives in a home in the Oakland Hills in a wooded setting that she shares with her daughter and a menagerie of cats, dogs, birds and horses. She spoke with writer Jill Wolfson and student Mariel Haag.

It floats in space, bright and beautiful an oasis in the darkness a lovely blue and white orb, set against a sea of stars. The Earth's striking beauty comes from the oceans that stretch across nearly three-quarters of its surface. The seas affect everything on the planet: climate, weather, geological processes and life. The Earth is home to all the life we know about today. Life is everywhere from the forests to the cities to the deserts and the oceans. Countless species of plants and animals inhabit the extremes of the global environment. All life forms on Earth owe their existence to a watery beginning in an ancient ocean. Nearly four billion years ago, the oceans gave birth to the earliest forms of life on our planet. Only recently in the cosmic span of time has life spread from the undersea world to the land. (music transition: 10 seconds) Humans stand on the shoreline where two worlds meet. Our ancestors may have come from the ocean, but we are creatures of the land. We can visit the ocean, swim in its lagoons, and ride across its surface knowing that the birthplace of our most ancient predecessors lies beneath those restless waves. We cannot live there without special habitats, but still

Komo Mai ! Welcome to Kauai.... Blessed with warm tropical waters teeming with life, long golden stretches of beaches and the warmth and aloha of its people have made Hawaii one of the most popular vacation sites in the world. Amidst the sparkling blue waters of the Pacific Ocean lies a tropical paradise - Kauai, named the Garden Isle. Formed some 6 million years ago, Kauai is the oldest and most northerly of the main Hawaiian Islands. Encompassing roughly 550 square miles, the garden island is aptly nicknamed for its lush scenery. The temperature ranges from an average of 69 degrees to 81 degrees, with constantly blowing trade winds from the North and North East. Kauai's highest peak reaches over 5,000' above sea level. From anywhere on the island, you'll have dramatic views of both sparkling oceans and emerald green mountains. Unlike Honolulu (just a 20 minute flight away), Kauai has no towering office buildings or apartments, no freeways and no mega shopping malls. No buildings are taller than a coconut tree (except one hotel). The resident population is around 55,000 compared to 1.5 million in Oahu. Most communities live in small hamlets along the shore or inland valleys. Kauai has varied landscapes, wide open spaces, friendly people, uncrowded beaches and a distinct low-key, rural feel. The island of Kauai is divided into 4 major sections - North Shore, Coconut coast, South Shore and the West Side. Click on the Snorkel map to zoom into each section to see the snorkeling sites.

Its first appearance is dulled by the moisture kicked into the air by the booming waves hitting the north shore of the atoll. Distinct from the rhythmic pounding of the waves, there is a roaring sound but nothing to which to attribute it, at least on first visit. Though reachable by a sixty minute flight from Papeete, Tahiti, Rangiroa feels like one of the remotest places on earth. It is a good feeling because the remoteness comes with so little discomfort and such mind arresting beauty. Looking off the northern edge of this atoll, the second largest in the world, all you see is ocean. Travelling due north all you will see is ocean until Prince William Sound in Alaska.

"On the sea depends our salvation." Xenephon, Greek Historian 431 - 355 BC DID YOU KNOW? 75% of the earth's surface is covered by seawater. the microscopic plants of the ocean (phytoplankton) may account for up to 90% of the total plant production on earth. the plants of the ocean, of which phytoplankton forms part, are the major source of oxygen for the world. in the 1970s the oceans yielded over 70 million tonnes of fish for the world - this figure has not risen much over the last 20 years, despite increased effort, due to mismanagement of this resource. over 100 000 different types of chemicals are pumped into Table Bay in one day. Introduction The oceans cover most of the planet - so possibly our planet should be called "Ocean", not "Earth"! The continents and islands divide all this water into 5 major Oceans, called, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic. However, they are all linked together and form one continuous expanse of water. Seawater contains over 96% pure water, 3% is common salt and the balance is made up of more than 80 other elements, including gold.

AMERICAN OCEANS CAMPAIGN Complete list of AOC Testimony Testimony of Ted Danson, Founding President of American Oceans Campaign before the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy Los Angeles, California April 19, 2002 Good morning and welcome to Southern California. As you have heard yesterday and will hear today, Californians have a deep affinity for our magnificent coastline and oceans an affinity shared by concerned Americans across the nation. I wish to thank the Commissioners and staff of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy for inviting me to share some thoughts for a more coordinated, comprehensive national ocean agenda for the 21st Century. Fifteen years ago, I founded American Oceans Campaign in order to build a stronger voice for protecting oceans and ensuring a healthier planet for our families and ourselves. One of the events that led me to become an ocean advocate was a trip to a local, polluted beach with my two young daughters. Having to explain to my disappointed children that we could not swim in the ocean because we could get sick was an eye-opening experience. Shortly thereafter, I became convinced that dedicating personal time in a campaign to ensure future generations would enjoy healthy oceans, teeming with life, was necessary and important to my family and me. Throughout AOC's history, we have focused much of our attention on educating the public and encouraging decision-makers to reduce pollution, protect ocean and coastal habitats, and sustainably use the ocean's bounty. On February 28, American Oceans Campaign announced it was joining with Oceana, a new, international ocean conservation organization. Oceana will bring together dedicated people from around the world to build an international movement to save the oceans through public policy advocacy, science and economics, legal action, grassroots mobilization, and public education.

Practically all the pollutants are removed at the lower layer of the atmosphere, Rosenfeld said. That's one reason why the air in Hawaii is always so pristine, except during volcanic eruptions. It's the salt that does the trick, he added: "The conclusion stands that the air that we breathe near the surface remains clean because of the fact that the oceans are salty."

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT -Anthony DiLernia Anthony DiLernia is the Captain of Rocket Charters in New York Skyports Marina. He is Professor of Marine Technology with The City University of New York at Kingsborough Community College and a member of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council representing New York. What can you say about technology in fishing these days And those obstructions served as fish havens. So we were using binoculars to try to line up things up on the beach, and if you could find that, get close to it, anchor the boat and catch fish. We need t speak about a couple of things. One of the changes that has occurred over the past 30 years, particularly for the East Coast stocks, is during the winter, many of those critters that we would target would swim far off shore to the edge the continental shelf, 80 to 100 miles off shore, and it was winter over there and they would stay there. And they were safe because our ability to go that far was limited. And we still have the pioneer spirit, the outdoor spirit, in many of our commercial fishermen, people would turn to that because perhaps functioning on shore was not within their own personal psyche.

See Invasive Species (01/21/2002) Biologists worried that non-native European green crabs, which have already devastated native shellfish and crabs in other parts of the world, are becoming established in Puget Sound. Maybe most people wouldn't be afraid of a crab the size of a shirt button, but Washington state biologist Ron Figlar-Barnes is. He worries that the baby European green crab he found last spring - and more than 100 larger crabs - could mean the non-native crustaceans might settle in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor. He also worries that few people are looking for the green crabs, four years after their appearance stirred up fears of yet another threat to oyster growers and native animals. "It's absolutely silly for anyone not to be concerned," Figlar-Barnes said. "The green crab haven't gone away."
