As a result, scientists will soon be able to track and better understand extraordinary journeys such as those of loggerhead sea turtles, which are hatched in Australia, where they remain for a few years before migrating across the Pacific Ocean to Chile, Ecuador, or Peru.
Another important use of technology is in reducing the frequency of “human-animal conflict” – inadvertent harm such as the unintended trapping of sharks, manta rays, marine turtles, dolphins, whales, and sea turtles in fishing nets.
Just across another sea, perhaps.
– a bird flying free, in sharp focus against a fuzzy backdrop of sea and sky.
We hear constantly about how the Arctic sea ice is disappearing faster than expected, and this is true.
More importantly, we rarely hear that the Antarctic sea ice is not only not declining, but is above average for the past year.
IPCC models would expect declining sea ice in both hemispheres, but, whereas the Arctic is doing worse than expected, Antarctica is doing better.
We are constantly inundated with stories of how sea levels will rise, and how one study after another finds that it will be much worse than what the IPCC predicts.
Since 1992, we have had satellites measuring the rise in global sea levels, and they have shown a stable increase of 3.2 millimeters per year (1/8 of an inch) – spot on compared to the IPCC projection.

Even schoolchildren can recite some projected outcomes: oceans will warm and glaciers will melt, causing sea levels to rise and salt water to inundate low-lying coastal areas.
If CO2 levels continue to rise at their current rates, scientists estimate that around 10% of the Arctic Ocean will be corrosive enough to dissolve the shells of sea creatures by 2018.
It is an alarming list: “more frequent extreme events, more intense and changing rainfall patterns, more ocean acidification and ocean warming, coral bleaching, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, salinization of aquifers, the greatly accelerated emergence of new communicable diseases, reduced agricultural productivity, and a disruption of fishing traditions.”
He ensured that actions such as the famous 1930 salt march to the sea maintained a slow pace that allowed the drama and tension to build.
For example, the avowed intention of the EU Common Fisheries Policy is "to protect fish resources by regulating the amount of fish taken from the sea, by allowing young fish to reproduce , and by ensuring that measures are respected."

Global warming between 1.6 and 2.8 degrees Celsius over the next three decades would raise sea levels by half a meter.
That is a conservative estimate, and if warming proceeds more rapidly because of the loss of the reflectivity of Arctic ice and the release of CO2 and methane from thawing permafrost, rising sea levels could lead to the submersion of low-lying islands and hence threaten the survival of entire nations.
If rising sea levels flood the Maldive Islands, the effects of climate change would be as devastating as a nuclear bomb, and even for the United States and Europe, the damage to, say, Florida or the Netherlands could be just as costly.
Should they focus on a North Korean regime that is as volatile as ever, and that recently launched a ballistic missile toward the sea off its eastern coast?
He ignores the findings of his Nobel co-winners, the IPCC, who conclude that sea levels will rise between only a half-foot and two feet over this century, with their best expectation being about one foot.
Likewise, Gore agonizes over the accelerated melting of ice in Greenland and what it means for the planet, but overlooks the IPCC’s conclusion that, if sustained, the current rate of melting would add just three inches to the sea level rise by the end of the century.
