If any female (as dive partner) would like to join me in starting Islamarina Dive Clinic, partly based at Rose Atoll, American Samoa, USA, please email me at daud.deden@gmail.com, entitle it "DIVING". Rose Atoll is the southern-most land of the United States and the easternmost isle of the Malayo-Polynesian Samoan islands, and located south of the equator. I am very motivated to begin testing of the ARC there due to the warm clear lagoons and pristine environment. Collaborative non-competitive dive partnership preferred, the focus will be on natural aqua-photic respiratory cycle diving while evidence foraging, theory testing and photo-videographing. An internship may be possible in future, haven't worked out administrative details or funding yet. Come make a dream happen.

Sedimentol.& paleogeogr.context of the Mojokerto hominin site, E.Java p.92 abstr.67th ann.meet.Soc. Vert.Paleontol. F Huffman, R Buffler, J Kappelman, D Ruez & Y Zeim 2007
... the discovery site lies above marine Mollusk Mbr II & within a fossiliferous pebbly sandstone in the upper Pucangan Fm. The sandstone is a fluvial deposit with a broad channelized base, prominent cross-bed sets & other bedding indications of mid-Channel river bars incl.preserved dune surfaces (mega-ripples) on the bars , is confortably overlain by a 4�5 m paleosol developed in a mudstone. This bed is, in turn unconformably overlain by sand+mudstone containing burrows & marine mollusks representing the basal bads of Mollusk Mbr III. These lithofacies represent a variety of deposit.environment s ranging from flood plain to delta slope , together
preserve evidence of the localized progradation of a delta lobe into a shallow water marine embayment. ... present-day deltas in this region can experience very rapid progradation rates, the Perning lobe may have been deposited in <10*4 yrs , not necessarily linked to a glacio-eustatic sea-level lowstand. Given that the Moj.hominin spm appears to have experienced min.transport, we conclude that H.erectus inhabited seacoast environment. This paleoenvironmental reonctruction is in strong contrast to the more typical savanna-woodland setting of this sp in Africa , suggest that He had a broad adaptive niche.

Maritime Security: Ocean protection
http://www.abdi-secure-ecommerce.com/asis/p-808-1773.aspx
How do we protect our oceans and waterways from the blind overexploitation and pollution of our species on our planet's bodies of water? Will our future descendants have abundant clean water?
"As ships get bigger, the pollution is getting worse. The most staggering statistic of all is that just 16 of the world’s largest ships can produce as much lung-clogging sulphur pollution as all the world’s cars.
...
In the meantime, according to Corbett’s figures, nearly one million more people will die.
...
Smoke and sulphur are not the only threats from ships’ funnels. Every year they are also belching out almost one billion tons of carbon dioxide. Ships are as big a contributor to global warming as aircraft – but have had much less attention from environmentalists.
