Thank you Klaus!

Published in the journal Science, this first of its kind meta-analysis on conservation efforts, spanning across the globe and throughout the past century, that reveals that conservation efforts 'improved the state of biodiversity or slowed its decline in most cases (66%) compared with no action at all. Meanwhile, another paper in Science outlines a comprehensive strategy for implementing marine spatial planning policies to the high seas. This climate-smart approach is critical for protecting biodiversity and battling climate stressors. Plus the giant blue-grey sei whale, once locally extinct in Argentina, are making a comeback!

Dropping the price: $3,800 or best offer 🤿 💙

Hi everybody, I am selling my underwater camera housing, dome port, and strobes. $5,500 or best offer. Based in San Francisco, can ship. Details are: Nauticam NA-5DMKIII V.2 Underwater Housing for Canon EOS5D Mark III, 5DS & 5DS R DSLR Cameras with Dual Nikonos Bulkheads Zen 230mm dome port 2 x Ikelite DS-160 strobes with diffusers 3 x sync cord cables Clamps and arms Full kit includes a pelican case, pump, pressure gauge, and cleaning brush. Everything is in good working order (though you may need to replace the batteries on the strobes). Minor scuffs and corrosion from normal use. Some residual tape marks from labels and glue (from where a go-pro was mounted on top of the dome port). I'm selling because my camera and lenses were stolen, plus I haven't been diving much since I had a baby. Reach out with any questions!

My team at The Hydrous worked with the Smithsonian and Adobe to digitize 3D models of museum coral specimens and bring them to life with augmented reality and animation. Check it out!

Also recommend Coral Finder and Reef Finder: https://byoguides.com/ This and many others are based on Veron (Corals of the World) but heads up that the taxonomy is changing...Check out Project Phoenix, run by coral taxonomists who are revisiting the "identity of all of the 2500+ nominal species of hermatypic (reef-building) corals needs to be tested using multiple lines of evidence, including molecular, morphological, ecological, biological and geographical data." https://coralprojectphoenix.org/resources/coral-of-the-moment/

Hi! My name is Erika and I'm a coral reef ecologist who dabbles in underwater photography. I also run a non-profit based here in San Francisco called The Hydrous (www.thehydro.us) which is devoted to ocean science education. One of the tools we use is VR/AR for scaling "virtual dives" for ocean literacy and conservation. Glad to be part of waterpixels!
