Midshipman fish migrate from nest sites in the shallow intertidal zone to deep off shore sites during the non-reproductive winter season e.g. [ 56].
Sperm whales are usually found in deep off-shore waters, but may be seen closer to shore, in areas where the continental shelf is small and drops quickly to depths of 310-920 m.
Sims was drawn to Hawaii, with its deep near-shore waters and strong currents — attributes favorable to aquaculture that he believed could make ocean farming sustainable.
The positions from the deep off-shore waters were from the summer period, and in September and October all seals moved towards the main coast line.
In deeper off-shore waters, such as those of the continental shelf-break, fishing vessel activity most likely represents pelagic techniques such as mid-water trawling and purse-seining.
When, for example, the winds, combined with the deflecting effect of rotation, drive the surface waters away from the shore, deep water must rise to replace them.
As we set off from shore, deep whistle echoing all around, our tour guide proved that while Saugatuck is a place that clearly loves its own history, it still has the good sense not to take itself too seriously.
Because of the winds they will have pulled the boat deep into the shore.
Along transect A-B, about 1 km from the southern shore, deep augerings were used to study sedimentary sequence and soil development, while on transect C-D on the southern shore, the continuous cliff exposure allowed more detailed morphological investigation.
And during the second half of 2014, Alvin will be sent to the West Coast, where the sub is scheduled to explore deep ridges off shore, such as the East Pacific Rise.
"In some of the places we visited in Indonesia, the trash was knee deep on the shore, adjacent to a coral reef," Drew Harvell, a professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell and the senior scientist on the project, wrote me in an email.
