Downed World War II Aircraft Missing for 72 Years Located in Pacific Islands by Project RECOVER

May 25, 2016

An American aircraft, a TBM-1C Avenger, missing since July 1944 was recently located in the waters surrounding the Pacific Island nation of Palau by Project RECOVER—a collaborative effort to combine the most advanced oceanographic technology with advanced archival research methods to locate aircraft and associated Americans missing in action (MIA) since World War II.

Aided by Scripps Oceanography, Pacific Island Country Launches Plan to Protect Marine Life

May 13, 2016

The Pacific island country Palau has released a Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) Plan to combat illegal activity and manage emergency responses in its ocean waters, which are protected by a recently established national marine sanctuary. Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego were key contributors to the plan.

Ocean Scientists Recommend Plan to Combat Changes to Seawater Chemistry

April 6, 2016

Global carbon dioxide emissions are triggering permanent changes to ocean chemistry along the North American West Coast that require immediate, decisive action to combat. That action includes development of a coordinated regional management strategy, concluded a panel of scientific experts including Andrew Dickson, a professor of marine chemistry at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
