    ✧ cheek-lined wrasse ✧

    The cheek-lined wrasse (Oxycheilinus digramma) is a species of fish in the wrasse family, Labridae. It is native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, residing in coral reefs, sheltered inland areas, and lagoons, at depths from 3 to 60 metres (10 to 200 ft). Juveniles have been observed to live...

  6. Sea levels around Africa are rising faster than the global average: What's behind this alarming trend

    The western #IndianOcean and the tropical #Atlantic were already abnormally warm in 2023–2024, with sea surface temperatures well above their long-term averages. This created a higher baseline from which #ElNiño could push up temperatures, and therefore sea levels.

    Unusual wind patterns suppressed the normal process of upwelling. This is when winds push surface water aside, allowing colder, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to rise to the surface. The result was that heat was trapped at the surface instead of being mixed downward and replaced by cooler water. The #ocean layers did not mix well.

    The result was striking. Thermal expansion alone (warmer water) accounted for over 70% of the exceptional #SeaLevelRise during this event, reaching nearly 30mm across the #Africa'n marine domain. Ocean heat content

  7. The #NIC is composed of veteran analysts who produce classified assessments meant to represent the collective wisdom of Washington’s 18 #intelligence agencies.
    The #CIA referred questions to the #ODNI [#TulsiGabbard], which declined to comment. The White House did not say if #Trump was briefed on this assessment before approving the #military operation, which has quickly expanded east to include submarine warfare in the #IndianOcean & west to counter-missile showdowns near #NATO member #Turkey.​

  8. Down there, 40 miles off the coast, the water doesn't recognize a 'prize ship' or a military objective. It just sees steel and wood and the same cold pressure for everyone. My thoughts are with the sailors out there. No matter what the briefing room says, no sailor deserves to go down in the dark.

  9. In the shipping world, we get caught up in the 'geopolitics' the Strait of Hormuz routes, the insurance premiums, the sanctions. But seeing those reports about the recovery teams in Galle… it’s a brutal reminder of the ocean's indifference to our flags and our conflicts.

  10. Экипаж иранского вспомогательного корабля Bushehr решил в полном составе 208 человек сдаться властям Шри-Ланки.

    Это произошло после потопления иранского фрегата американской подводной лодкой недалеко от берегов острова.

    Власти Шри-Ланки проводили консультации не только с капитаном и экипажем корабля, но и с иранским посольством.

    В итоге шри-ланкийцы все же решили принять сдачу иранцев и заявили, что будут действовать на основе норм международного права.
