In Mexico, the Cozumel Channel located in the Caribbean Sea has been identified as a potential energy I. INTRODUCTION source in the region. Preliminary studies have shown that the ocean current is characterized by almost uniform and IDAL and ocean current energy resources unidirectional flow velocities of up to 2.0 m/s within its T represent a theoretical potential of 25880 TWh [1] and mid-section with water depths > 500 m. Nevertheless, a 800 TWh per annum, respectively [2], based on detailed resource assessment in shallow waters of the annual sea surface elevations and water depths as well as Cozumel Channel is required to address sites potentially on surface velocities of ocean currents.

  • 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.

  • Final Report a Remote Sensing Survey to Locate the Remains of USS Dorado Off of Bahia De La Ascension, Quintana Roo, Mexico
    Final Report A Remote Sensing Survey to locate the remains of USS Dorado off of Bahia de la Ascension, Quintana Roo, Mexico Submitted To: Syneca Research Group, Inc 600 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Suite 800W Washington, D.C. USA 20024 & Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática Calle Seminario Nº 8, Centro Histórico México, D.F. 06060 Submitted By: Geomar Research, LLC 3235 Southern Pine Lane Port Republic, MD 20676 Pilar Luna Erreguerena Principal Investigator Jeffrey D. Morris Underwater Archaeologist September 30, 2007 [NOTE: This version edited by Coral Reef Foundation and Syneca Research Group prior to public release] Cover Photo: Launching of USS Dorado on May 23, 1943, from New London, CT. Abstract: In October 2006, Douglas Campbell, Ph.D., President & CEO of Syneca Research Group, Inc. contacted Geomar Research, LLC to discuss the possibility of conducting a remote sensing survey to locate the wreckage of a World War II U.S. submarine, USS Dorado (SS-248). Dr. Campbell had conducted extensive historical research concerning the fate of this submarine as reflected in his website www.ussdorado.com. His research indicated that there was a possibility that the submarine had come to rest along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, south of Cozumel off Bahia de la Ascension. One of the primary sources of information that Dr. Campbell had access to were first-hand stories from airplane pilots that indicated that they had seen a large “submarine”-like object in the Caribbean waters off of Bahia de la Ascension at a depth of, in their words, “approximately 100 feet.” In May 2007, Geomar Research, LLC in close coordination with its host, the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática (INAH), conducted a remote sensing survey of an area off the mouth of Bahia de la Ascension.

  • TRIP PLANNING Effective May 6, 2020
    TRIP PLANNING Effective May 6, 2020 Trip Insurance: Due to our cancellation policy and the unexpected events that can possibly occur, Dive Paradise ​ STRONGLY recommends that all divers obtain international medical coverage, and/or a comprehensive travel insurance policy for their reservations, with coverage that includes cancellation, medical, personal liability and coverage for dives cancelled due to bad weather/port closures. For US and Canadian citizens, we suggest travel insurance from either The Divers Alert Network (DAN) or DiveAssure. For all other nationalities, we recommend ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ travel insurance from DiveAssure. ​ ​ Dive Equipment Rental: Rental gear is not included in trip prices. If you know you will need gear, please specify this ​ ahead of time in your Diver Registration Form, to ensure the proper size is available to you. While we always do our best to provide requested sizes, gear is provided on a 1st-come 1st-served basis. Wetsuits – Do You Need One? Everybody generates a different level of body heat and has different needs. If you ​ are traveling in the “cooler months” (December – March), a shorty or 3mm wetsuit is a good option. Those who are more sensitive to water temperature might also benefit from wearing a hoodie, dive skin, or vest under wetsuits for added warmth. In the warmer months (April – November) many guests are comfortable enjoying our beautiful waters with only a rash guard or dive skin, which can also protect you from sunburn. Getting to Cozumel: Cozumel’s International Airport (CZM), is served by most major North American airlines. For ​ more flight options, you may also want to consider flying into Cancun International Airport (CUN).

  • United States National Museum Bulletin 214
    United States National Museum Bulletin 214 Review of the Parrotfishes Family Scaridae By LEONARD P. SCHULTZ Curator of Fishes United States National Museum SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, D. C. 1958 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revi- sions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprismg monographs of large zoological group and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several vol- umes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type speci- mens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum. The present work forms No. 214 of the Bulletin series.
