Repairing the massive damage we have inflicted on these ecosystems is crucially important for humanity and not only the well-being of oceancreatures, argues Dr. Holm.
He has shown how parts of the ocean are temporarily protected from the depredations of these creatures because they cannot cross the invisible barriers imposed by Lagrange.
In hopes of uncovering more about the effects of glaciers on the ocean floor, as well as details about the living creatures that inhabit said areas, UK scientists are carting the machine aboard the RSS James Clark Ross as they head for the Marguerite Bay area on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The meaty fish is caught in giant nets that are dragged along the ocean floor, a method environmental groups warn destroys habitats and other sea creatures.
