Month: June 2020

On Friday 5/06/2020 the US Government announced that it will reopen the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to commercial fishing.

The move was criticized by marine life advocates who said it could threaten species in the area but praised by fishing groups that said it would generate millions of dollars for their industry.

The monument, about 130 miles from Cape Cod, Mass., was established in 2016 by then-President Obama to protect deep-sea environments and marine life.

Divers Alert Network provides information for divers returning to their favourite activity after the COVID-19 lockdown.

We are looking for an amazing photo of a diver exploring South Australian waters.

SDFSA is designing a new marquee to be used for the Science Alive! Exhibition at the Adelaide showgrounds later this year; and for other events like the opening of the 2020/2021 dive season late November/December. We want the back canvas panel of the tent to be one giant image of a diver or divers – 3 metres by 3 metres.

So we are running a competition! The best photo (selected by the SDFSA Committee) will be the photo on our marquee!
