Information in a log may contain the date, time and location, the profile of the diveequipment used, air usage, above and below water conditions, including temperature, current, wind and waves, general comments, and verification by the buddyinstructor or supervisor. In case of a diving accident, it The Divers Logbook provide valuable data regarding diver's previous experience, as well as the other factors that might have led to the accident itself. Recreational divers are generally advised to keep a logbook as a record, while professional divers may be legally obliged to maintain a logbook which is up to date and complete in its records. The professional diver's logbook is a legal document and may be important for getting employment. The required content and formatting of the professional diver's logbook is generally specified by the registration authority, but may also be specified by an industry association such as the International Marine Contractors Association IMCA.

    DOC.NO. FINAL PUBLISHABLE SUMMARY REPORT_V2.1.DOC ISSUE DATE 05/03/2014 DISS. LEVEL PUBLIC PAGE 1/32 Executive summary Project Objectives In recent years, piracy has been a growing business in the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean and other areas. Terrorism is another growing concern today. The objective of the project was to develop an integrated system for increasing the security of maritime infrastructures covering ports, passenger transport and energy supply against these threats. Development strategy Sectronic development was characterised by a close cooperation between R&D partners and end-users. Thirteen security scenarios have been established, based on end-users first-hand experience and formed the basis for assessing the effectiveness of candidate solutions. Suitable sensors and data feeds, communication and non-lethal response equipment have been thoroughly assessed, including field evaluation against real targets. Tactics and procedures have been developed and tested and safety and regulatory aspects have been addressed. Sectronic systems have been designed, developed and installed in ports and at sea for a 1-year operational evaluation period. Project Outcomes The combination of radar, sonar, infrared and visible cameras, AIS receivers and auxiliary sensors, anomaly detection algorithms, near real time sea state and security information and adequate non-lethal response equipment was found to be able to significantly decrease the risk of piracy or terrorism. A quantitative vulnerability reduction metric was developed and applied to single devices and to combinations of several devices in the SECTRONIC scenarios with analysis and discussion. The analysis provides some insight into the dynamics of vulnerability reduction. Based on strong end-user recommendations, the Sectronic system on board does not require to be continuously manned.

Final version, arXiv release, April 2019. Compiled on May 15, 2019. Abstract Garbage and waste disposal is one of the biggest challenges currently faced by mankind. Proper waste disposal and recycling is a must in any sustainable community, and in many coastal areas there is significant water pollution in the form of floating or submerged garbage. This is called marine debris. It is estimated that 6.4 million tonnes of marine debris enter water environments every year [McIlgorm et al. 2008, APEC Marine Resource Conservation WG], with 8 million items entering each day. An unknown fraction of this sinks to the bottom of water bodies. Submerged marine debris threatens marine life, and for shallow coastal areas, it can also threaten fishing vessels [Iñiguez et al. 2016, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews]. Submerged marine debris typically stays in the environment for a long time (20+ years), and consists of materials that can be recycled, such as metals, plastics, glass, etc.

The system will track simultaneously multiple targets up to a range of 950 metres in ideal conditions, with classification of targets such as divers occurring at 900 metres, the system will also provide upon classification the targets previous trail. The maximum location depth is 100 metres Applications The practicality of the WG DDSS design makes the system a realistic option for protecting a wide range of maritime assets:- Expeditionary warfare units in overseas ports are widely recognised as the most visible and vulnerable of targets. Valuable oil and gas refineries liquefied natural gas terminals and power stations. With many of these facilities already deploying conventional terrestrial security systems including: thermal imaging, CCTV, Radar and ground sensing devices, the WG DDSS closes the defensive circle against intruders. The WG DDSS can be used to protect any sensitive fixed installation with a water perimeter, harbours, private moorings or individual passenger ships, luxury yachts etc. The reliable detection of underwater targets and their discrimination from marine mammals is a notoriously difficult problem. WESTMINSTER INTERNATIONAL LTD.

Reporting to the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, the Centre maintains extensive partnering to expand its research output, promote maritime innovation and foster more rapid implementation of research products. The Scientific Programme of Work (SPOW) is the core of the Centre's activities and is organized into four Research Thrust Areas: • Expeditionary Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Port Protection (EMP) • Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Undersea Networks (RSN) • Expeditionary Operations Support (EOS) • Command and Operational Support (COS) NURC also provides services to other sponsors through the Supplementary Work Program (SWP). These activities are undertaken to accelerate implementation of new military capabilities for NATO and the Nations, to provide assistance to the Nations, and to ensure that the Centre’s maritime capabilities are sustained in a fully productive and economic manner. Examples of supplementary work include ship chartering, military experimentation, collaborative work with or services to Nations and industry. NURC’s plans and operations are extensively and regularly reviewed by outside bodies including peer review of the research, independent national expert oversight, review of proposed deliverables by military user authorities, and independent business process certification. The Scientific Committee of National Representatives, membership of which is open to all NATO nations, provides scientific guidance to the Centre and the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation.
