    MEDIA RELEASE 26 November 2015 Peter Gash to attend The GBR Special Screening with Sir David Attenborough Managing Director of Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, Peter Gash, was delighted to receive an invitation to the special screening of Sir David Attenborough’s landmark series ‘The Great Barrier Reef’ being held in London next week. “It was a very unexpected pleasure and a great honour to receive an invitation to attend the special screening of the Great Barrier Reef documentary in London so how could I say no? Sir David Attenborough is a world renowned naturalist and documentary maker and I would love the opportunity to meet with Sir David and have a chat to him about the Great Barrier Reef. I know that he fell in love with Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef when he first visited many years ago, just like I did, so I’m glad that he was able to come back to do a documentary showcasing this incredible eco-system.” “As the current leaseholder and custodian of Lady Elliot Island, I am very excited to be going to London as an ambassador of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. As a pilot, I have also had the privilege of visiting many parts of the Great Barrier Reef over the past 25 years and I must say that it never ceases to amaze me. I can’t wait for the rest of the world to be able to see the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef through Sir David Attenborough’s eyes,” said Mr Gash. Lady Elliot is a true coral cay located on the southern tip of Australia’s World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef, 80kms north-east of Bundaberg, just north of Fraser Island.

Page 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone who believed in me on this crazy and fantastic journey; everything you have done has molded me into the person I am today. To my family, who taught me to seek out my own purpose and pursue it wholeheartedly; without you, I would have never taken the chance and moved to England for my Masters. To my professors, who became my trusted resources and friends, your endless and caring teachings have supported me in more ways than I can put into words. To my friends who have never failed to make me smile, I am so lucky to have you in my life. Finally, a special thanks to David Attenborough, Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Jane Goodall, Peter Gros, Jim Fowler, and so many others for making me fall in love with wildlife and spark a fire in my heart for their welfare. I grew up on wildlife films and television shows like Planet Earth, Blue Planet, March of the Penguins, Crocodile Hunter, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Shark Week, and others – it was because of those programs that I first fell in love with nature as a kid, and I’ve taken that passion with me, my whole life.

  • Ctenosaura Defensor (Cope, 1866)
    Ctenosaura defensor (Cope, 1866). The Yucatecan Spiny-tailed Iguana, a regional endemic in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, is distributed in the Tabascan Plains and Marshes, Karstic Hills and Plains of Campeche, and Yucatecan Karstic Plains regions in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (Lee, 1996; Calderón-Mandujano and Mora-Tembre, 2004), at elevations from near “sea level to 100 m” (Köhler, 2008). In the original description by Cope (1866), the type locality was given as “Yucatán,” but Smith and Taylor (1950: 352) restricted it to “Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico.” This lizard has been reported to live on trees with hollow limbs, into which they retreat when approached (Lee, 1996), and individuals also can be found in holes in limestone rocks (Köhler, 2002). Lee (1996: 204) indicated that this species lives “mainly in the xeric thorn forests of the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, although they are also found in the tropical evergreen forests of northern Campeche.” This colorful individual was found in low thorn forest 5 km N of Sinanché, in the municipality of Sinanché, in northern coastal Yucatán. Wilson et al. (2013a) determined its EVS as 15, placing it in the lower portion of the high vulnerability category. Its conservation status has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered (P) by SEMARNAT. ' © Javier A.

Approval, whenever given, does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of DARPA, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. ABSTRACT The Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawai‘i, under funding from DARPA, initiated an R&D project to advance the design, testing, and deployment of technologies and systems that produce electrical power from methane and associated compounds in the seafloor sediment in situ. The goals of this effort are to identify viable systems for a range of possible mission profiles and available methane resource; and to demonstrate feasibility of concept of these systems through experimentation and performance characterizations of key technologies. During the present project period, the principal objectives were to conduct a technology review, and initiate system design and performance analyses.
