There will be a high-pitched, continuous hum on NSW ocean beaches from shark surveillance drones

* "Shark-spotting drones will provide year-round coverage at about 70 beaches along the NSW coast as part of an expanded surveillance program announced after a Sydney mother was attacked by a suspected white shark."

"The state government on Sunday announced it would allocate an additional $34 million for shark-spotting drones, providing coverage at every ocean beach from Palm Beach to Cronulla 365 days of the year."

"About 70 beaches across the state will have year-round drone surveillance, with all Sydney beaches covered from July 1.It will also trial artificial intelligence to improve shark detection." >>

"NSW beaches to get dawn-to-dusk drone patrols in $34m anti-shark program...We need to treat the beach like the bush. It’s the wild.” >>

I'm on a wild goose chase for an expert in medusozoa / cnidaria life cycle and ecology (a jellyfish expert so to say).

One of my colleagues is researching jellyfish blooms in the North Sea for her PhD, and has some questions on the general things. Preferably in Belgium or surroundings, so she can visit with a bunch of questions.

It's a long shot, but asking is free. Sharing appreciated!

Shane Jones is a Prized Prick.
Sure there is a serious problem here and people need educating and probably better regulation to protect our shoreline marine life.

His rhetoric is racist and discrimatory. NZ First is a Trump clone.

Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones said he had asked Fisheries New Zealand officials for urgent advice about the situation at the bay. He said the matter was a result of a cultural clash.

"Kiwis, we're fairly laidback and we make assumption that, when immigrants come to New Zealand, they won't crap on the beach, they won't slaughter all the periwinkles. Well, this is evidence that, as our democracy changes, we're going to have to be more vigilant.

"The New Zealand public has got to wake up to the fact that unfettered immigration is going to import these problems, because a lot of the migrant communities have a different cultural mindset and, until they abide by the Kiwi ways, we are going to have to both educate and regulate."

The effect of #ClimateChange on sources of #radionuclides to the #MarineEnvironment

Published: 16 March 2024
Justin P. Gwynn, Vanessa Hatje, Núria Casacuberta, Manmohan Sarin & Iolanda Osvath

Abstract:
"Climate change interacts with the sources and cycling of contaminants, such as radionuclides, in the environment. In this review, we discuss the implications of climate change impacts on existing and potential future sources of radionuclides associated with human activities to the marine environment. The overall effect on operational releases of radionuclides from the nuclear and non-nuclear sectors will likely be increased interference or prevention of normal operations due to weather-related events. For certain #RadioactiveWaste dumped at sea and sunken #NuclearSubmarines, the impact of climate change and ocean #acidification on the release of radionuclides and their subsequent fate in the marine environment should be considered further. Fluxes from secondary sources of radionuclides in the marine and terrestrial environment and cryosphere will change in response to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, warming and changes in precipitation patterns. In addition, climate change impacts may increase the risk of releases of radionuclides from operational and legacy wastes on land to the marine environment. Overall, our synthesis highlights that there is a need to understand and assess climate change impacts on sources of radionuclides to the marine environment to meet environmental and management challenges under future climate scenarios."
