Ocean Observatory in the Gulf of Mexico

Oct. 26, 2010 12:19 pm

The University of Victoria, 300 km off the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, has installed the world's first Ocean Observatory in the Neptune Canada.

It would be nice to see such an observatory established in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the BP/Halliburton Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The NOAA has been working alongside BP from the onset with deployment of their expert advisers and research vessels, as have other collaborations.

Perhaps those responsible for the spill might initiate just such a project as the long term effects from the use of dispersants, as well as the crude oil itself, will be ongoing for years to come. Kudos to Neptune Canada and the prospect of further sharing of knowledge about our beautiful oceans.

Major Media Content Experiment Ends

We will no longer be adding major media content, such as news from the Associated Press, alongside our Thinker content. This will result in the elimination of the "News" content type.

Going forward, we will focus exclusively on Thinker Blogs, Articles, Topics, and Ebooks. Visit our CEO's blog for the thinking behind this change. We want to thank the people of the Associated Press who were very supportive of our ideas and a pleasure to work with.
