From subarctic waters to crystal clear Caribbeans and everything in between, the oceans of the world cover over 70% of our planet. With this mass also comes a plethora of benefits that we gain from our oceans.

Most of life consists of a series of events that we will never understand. Show me a man who thinks he understands the secrets of the universe, and I will show you a damn fool.

Optimism isn’t a word that’s normally associated with ocean conservation. As someone working in the field, I have witnessed the chasm growing between our slow progress, due to a chronic lack of support, while the problems grow exponentially.

Types of Sonars
Since it’s all just sound, why can’t every sonar “do it all”? This is by far one of the most misunderstood parts of sonars and reasonably so.
