Today, large-scale space habitation, and the opportunity to take advantage of the vast resources and possibilities of outer space, remains more in the realm of speculation than reality. We have experienced fifteen years of continuous space habitation and construction, with another seven years scheduled. Yet we have still not been able to take major steps towards commercial and industrial space development, which is usually the most-cited reason for establishing orbital colonies. This is mainly due to the prohibitively high cost, even today. In this situation, we cannot easily afford the luxury of testing how such systems could eventually work in space. This leaves us looking for analogous situations. While some scientists have sought this in the mountains of Hawaii, this does not tell the full story. We are unable to properly fathom or test how a large-scale industrial and tourism operation, as it is expected will eventually exist on-orbit, on Earth. This led us to the idea of building an oceanic base. The ocean is, in many ways, similar to free space. Large swathes of it remain unexplored. There are unrealised commercial opportunities. There are hostile yet exciting environments. Creating basic life support and pressure-containing structures are challenging.

    Concept Study of a Cislunar Outpost Architecture and Associated Elements that Enable a Path to Mars Presented by: Timothy Cichan Lockheed Martin Space [email protected] Mike Drever Lockheed Martin Space [email protected] Franco Fenoglio Thales Alenia Space Italy [email protected] Willian D. Pratt Lockheed Martin Space [email protected] Josh Hopkins Lockheed Martin Space [email protected] September 2016 © 2014 Lockheed Martin Corporation Abstract During the course of human space exploration, astronauts have travelled all the way to the Moon on short flights and have logged missions of a year or more of continuous time on board Mir and the International Space Station (ISS), close to Earth. However, if the long term goal of space exploration is to land humans on the surface of Mars, NASA needs precursor missions that combine operating for very long durations and great distances. This will allow astronauts to learn how to work in deep space for months at a time and address many of the risks associated with a Mars mission lasting over 1,000 days in deep space, such as the inability to abort home or resupply in an emergency. A facility placed in an orbit in the vicinity of the Moon, called a Deep Space Transit Habitat (DSTH), is an ideal place to gain experience operating in deep space. This next generation of in-space habitation will be evolvable, flexible, and modular. It will allow astronauts to demonstrate they can operate for months at a time beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The DSTH can also be an international collaboration, with partnering nations contributing elements and major subsystems, based on their expertise.

Executive Summary Background Race Rocks (XwaYeN), located 17 km southwest of Victoria in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, consists of nine islets, including the large main island, Great Race. Named for its strong tidal currents and rocky reefs, the waters surrounding Race Rocks (XwaYeN) are a showcase for Pacific marine life. This marine life is the result of oceanographic conditions supplying the Race Rocks (XwaYeN) area with a generous stream of nutrients and high levels of dissolved oxygen. These factors contribute to the creation of an ecosystem of high biodiversity and biological productivity. In 1980, the province of British Columbia, under the authority of the provincial Ecological Reserves Act, established the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. This provided protection of the terrestrial natural and cultural heritage values (nine islets) and of the ocean seabed (to the 20 fathoms/36.6 meter contour line).

    Jenkins 2000 AIRLOCK & CONNECTIVE TUNNEL DESIGN

    Jenkins_2000 AIRLOCK & CONNECTIVE TUNNEL DESIGN AND AIR MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES FOR MARS HABITAT AND EARTH ANALOG SITES Jessica Jenkins* ABSTRACT For a manned mission to Mars, there are numerous systems that must be designed for humans to live safely with all of their basic needs met at all times. Among the most important aspects will be the retention of suitable pressure and breathable air to sustain life. Also, due to the corrosive nature of the Martian dust, highly advanced airlock systems including airshowers and HEPA filters must be in place so that the interior of the habitat and necessary equipment is protected from any significant damage. There are multiple current airlocks that are used in different situations, which could be modified for use on Mars. The same is true of connecting tunnels to link different habitat modules. In our proposed Mars Analog Challenge, many of the airlock designs and procedures could be tested under simulated conditions to obtain further information without actually putting people at risk. Other benefits of a long-term study would be to test how the procedures affect air maintenance and whether they need to be modified prior to their implementation on Mars. INTRODUCTION One of the most important factors in the Mars Habitat design involves maintaining the air pressure within the habitat. Preservation of breathable air will be an extremely vital part of the mission, as very little can be found in situ. Since Mars surface expeditions will be of such long duration, it is imperative that the airlock designs incorporate innovative air maintenance strategies. For our proposed Earth Analog Site competition, many of the components of these designs can be tested, as can the procedures required for long-duration habitation on Mars.

    DRAFT Sustainable Tourism for Marine Recreation Providers

    DRAFT Sustainable Tourism for Marine Recreation Providers Wolcott Henry photo The Coral Reef Alliance: Coral Parks Program Education Series ©2004 Sustainable Tourism Introduction In this era of the global economy, tourism has become a primary source of revenue for many regions of the world, generating nearly $500 billion in worldwide revenues in 2001, and continuing to grow (WTO, 2001). The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) facilitated a study that points out that the tourism industry now represents more than 10% of the world’s gross domestic product (UNEP, 2002). While tourism brings significant benefits for both local and global economies, its rapid growth and development in recent decades has caused widespread social and environmental change across the globe, particularly in popular coastal resort destinations. In contrast, the concept of sustainable tourism is now seen as a way to promote socio-economic development in a given region while simultaneously protecting local culture and the natural environment. In order to address these issues and how they impact coral reefs, the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) has compiled this Sustainable Tourism for Marine Recreation Providers handbook. In an effort to promote sustainable tourism, the information contained in this handbook highlights some of the current environmental problems associated with tourism growth and development, and promotes practical solutions for marine recreation providers to adopt good environmental practices. We encourage readers to provide us with feedback as to how we can improve this publication.

    A Coral-Safe Diving Reminder Reduces Reef Contacts by Ashton

    PROTECTING GUAM’S CORAL REEFS BY IMPROVING SCUBA DIVER BEHAVIOR: A CORAL-SAFE DIVING REMINDER REDUCES REEF CONTACTS BY ASHTON N. WILLIAMS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Laurie Raymundo, Chair Dr. Alexander Kerr, Member Dr. Romina King, Member UNIVERSITY OF GUAM DECEMBER 2019 Abstract Coral reefs are a critical resource for the culture and economy of the American territory of Guam, but the island’s coral reef resources are increasingly imperiled by climate change, particularly bleaching caused by rising seawater temperatures. Severe bleaching events in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 have caused mass mortality of corals and made evident the critical need to reduce local stressors to protect the future of Guam’s reefs. An estimated 300,000 people scuba dive on Guam’s reefs annually, but the impacts of these divers are unknown. This study examines the impacts of scuba diving activity on highly trafficked coral reefs and tests a low-effort approach to reducing diver impacts by using a coral-safe diving reminder. Comparisons of benthic cover, genus diversity, and health impacts did not reveal any significant differences between pairs of often dived and rarely dived sites, although it is likely that the damage and mortality caused by recent bleaching events may be masking the smaller impacts of scuba divers. A single-sentence coral-safe diving reminder delivered as part of the standard pre-dive briefing was highly effective in reducing both accidental and intentional contacts with reef. Divers who received a coral-safe diving reminder made 72% fewer contacts with the reef, and about 60% fewer contacts with live corals specifically, than divers who did not receive a reminder.

    SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL PLANNING AND BUILDING STANDARDS COMMITTEE 7 SEPTEMBER 2020 APPLICATION FOR PLANNING PERMISSION ITEM: REFERENCE NUMBER: 20/00523/FUL OFFICER: Paul Duncan WARD: East Berwickshire PROPOSAL: Erection of mixed use building comprising of office (Class 4) and storage (Class 6) and associated development including servicing, parking, re-profiling of existing shelter mound and demolition of adjacent harbour wall SITE: Land North West of Fishmarket, Gunsgreen Quay, Eyemouth APPLICANT: Neart Na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Ltd AGENT: Young Planning & Energy Consenting BACKGROUND Eyemouth Harbour has been selected as a preferred location for an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) base to support the 450MW Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind Farm [pronounced “nart na gweeha”]. The O&M base would house office, warehousing and staff welfare facilities required to support work servicing the wind farm once constructed. NnG began offshore construction of the wind farm in August of this year. SITE DESCRIPTION The proposed site is located at Eyemouth’s deep water harbour. Distinct from the original harbour to the south, the deep water harbour was formed in the late 1990s and is accessed by a direct distributor road via the Eyemouth High School roundabout to the south of the town. The Fishmarket building was erected around the same time and lies roughly perpendicular to the southern boundary of the proposed site. A significant portion of the proposed site has been occupied by harbour users mainly for storage purposes in an area known as Smeaton’s Yard. An old stone wall separates the yard from the quayside to the south. To the west of the site is the narrow harbour entrance known as The Canyon.
