Satellite View of Ouvéa Island - New Caledonia

Handout photo dated on April, 17, 2025 shows Satellite View of Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia. Ouvéa Island, part of the Loyalty Islands in New Caledonia, is renowned for its untouched beauty and ecological richness. Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island is fringed by one of the world’s most pristine lagoons, home to vibrant coral reefs and endangered species such as dugongs and green sea turtles. The surrounding reef structures support a delicate balance of marine biodiversity, while inland, coastal vegetation and coconut groves provide habitat for endemic birds. This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image, acquired on 17 April 2025, reveals the island’s shape and its spectacular barrier reef. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACAPRESS.COM

Analysis results of MS Estonia wreck

21.09.2023, Tallinn. Based on computational modeling by Tallinn University of Technology researchers, a report presented suggests that the Estonia's starboard side was damaged by the ship's collision with the seafloor. he study's lead author, Professor of Marine Structures and Technology Kristjan Tabri, explained that a computational method was used to simulate the ship's sinking and its impact with the seafloor, while assessing structural deformations and damage.

Large-scale conservation project to restore marine environments in Australia's Sydney Harbour

STORY: Large-scale conservation project to restore marine environments in Australia's Sydney Harbour DATELINE: August 24, 2022 LENGTH: 00:01:08 LOCATION: SYDNEY, Australia CATEGORY: ENVIRONMENT SHOTLIST: various of sea environment (Source: Environment NSW)various of Sydneyvarious of divers working in ocean STORYLINE: The government of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) has announced a 9.1 million Australian dollars (about 6.28 million U.S. dollars) initiative, which will seek to restore kelp forests and sea horse populations to the iconic Sydney Harbour. The investment would be delivered across three projects including installing living seawalls and replanting seagrass meadows and kelp forests, conducting a census of penguin populations that inhabit the harbour and assessing the habitat of seals in the harbour. More than 85 percent of people in NSW live within 50 km of the coast, and as such more than 50 percent of Sydney Harbour's shoreline is occupied by urban structures, and more than 142,0

Afghanistan Evacuation

United States Marines with the 2nd Marine Logistics Group prepare for the arrival of Afghan personnel at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, August 26, 2021. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of State and Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for up to 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan personnel essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. Photo by Quinn Hurt/US Marine Corps via CNP/ABACAPRESS.COM
