Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society ®
our world-underwater scholarship society ® 47th Annual Awards Program – June 3 - 5, 2021 Welcome to the 47th anniversary celebration of the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society®. It has always been a great pleasure for me as president of the Society to bring the “family” together each year in New York City, so of course it is with great disappointment that for the second year we are unable to do so. A year ago, as the pandemic was beginning to spread throughout the world, the board of directors made the difficult decision to put all scholarship and internship activities on hold. 2020 was the first time in the Society’s history that we did not put Scholars or Interns in the field. But there is good news – the Society has new energy and is working with our hosts and sponsors to safely get our incoming 2021 Scholars and Interns started on their journeys. We bring three new Rolex Scholars and five new interns into our family for a total of 103 Rolex Scholars and 107 interns since the inception of the Society, and all of this has been accomplished by our all-volunteer organization. Forty-seven years of volunteers have been selfless in their efforts serving as directors, officers, committee members, coordinators, and technical advisors all motivated to support the Society’s mission “to promote educational activities associated with the underwater world.” None of this would have been possible without the incredible support by the Society’s many organizational partners and corporate sponsors throughout the years. The one constant in the Society’s evolution has been Rolex which continues to support the Society as part of its Perpetual Planet Initiative. -

This week’s serving won’t mean much to our readers who live inland from the ocean, for instance, Zimbabwe (where several hundred of our e-friends live) is entirely land-locked – far from the ocean. We can read about something, maybe even watch a TV report on it, but it’s just not the same as being there! But for anyone who has lived near the ocean and had an encounter of the kind this Friday Food 'n' Therapy focuses on….. there is a primal fear that rises up that words can’t describe. In coastal Australia there is an expression that says it all…. GREAT WHITE….. This is not referring to an overweight murungu (white man)! But to the white pointer shark – the most efficient killing machine known on earth. Yes, the film JAWS exaggerated their size (they have been caught “only” up to 7 metres long), but the reality of what the more common 5m long specimens can do is legendary in our part of the world. Most Saturday mornings, I jog (while Elizabeth walks with our dog) with our running club alongside Georges River, some 30km from the ocean. There are signs nearby warning bathers about sharks. In 1936 a 5m shark lost its way up the river, and hungry, it killed and ate two people in two weeks. About five years ago, I swam across the same river nearby (where it’s only about 300m across); on the other side a man warned me that a dog was taken by a shark only the week before…. -

Outline for Spearfishing Study Writeup
NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-PIFSC-31 March 2012 The Sociocultural Importance of Spearfishing in Hawaiʻi Brent W. Stoffle and Stewart D. Allen Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce About this document The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and to conserve and manage coastal and oceanic marine resources and habitats to help meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. As a branch of NOAA, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts or sponsors research and monitoring programs to improve the scientific basis for conservation and management decisions. NMFS strives to make information about the purpose, methods, and results of its scientific studies widely available. NMFS’ Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) uses the NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS series to achieve timely dissemination of scientific and technical information that is of high quality but inappropriate for publication in the formal peer- reviewed literature. The contents are of broad scope, including technical workshop proceedings, large data compilations, status reports and reviews, lengthy scientific or statistical monographs, and more. NOAA Technical Memoranda published by the PIFSC, although informal, are subjected to extensive review and editing and reflect sound professional work. Accordingly, they may be referenced in the formal scientific and technical literature. A NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS issued by the PIFSC may be cited using the following format: Stoffle, B. W., and S. D. Allen. 2012. The sociocultural importance of spearfishing in Hawai`i.
