The DANA left a total of 222 people dead and four missing. It also devastated thousands of homes and commercial premises, schools, public buildings, parks, street lamps and trees, and left a large percentage of the population without a car. To date, more than 2,000 residents have not been able to return to their homes and 9,500 students are still unable to attend school. Photo by Rober Solsona/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM

New DEEP Sea Underwater Habitat Announced

New DEEP Sea Underwater Habitat Announced

Handout render of DEEP Sentinel seafloor scene. A new deep-sea habitat project has been launched by ocean technology and exploration company, DEEP, which has announced its intention to create a permanent human presence under the oceans by 2027. The project is already two years in development, with its base located at the former British National Diving and Activity Centre (NDAC), an 80m-deep, 600m-long flooded quarry in Gloucester, England, which suddenly announced its closure in February 2022. The centrepiece of DEEP’s project is Sentinel, a customisable capsule system designed to be ‘modular, scalable, autonomous, recoverable, re-configurable and re-deployable.’ Sentinel can be tailored to the individual needs of its users, be that a single installation or a network of segments interlinked to form a ‘deep-sea village’, and DEEP claims it will be installed on the sea floor with minimum disturbance to the surrounding ecosystem.
