    • U-boat artifacts, divers reveal history of Torpedo Junction

      A new exhibit at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum reminds us that a vicious German U-boat campaign in the early months of World War II had once raged offshore the barrier islands, setting the sea ablaze and filling the air with explosions.

    • How AICW and OWW Boaters will be Affected by FEC RR Bridge Work


      The increasing number of bridge closings due to increased rail traffic has been a concern for some time.  See All Aboard Florida Protest by Jim Healy. The St Lucie FEC RR bridge with 6 ft vertical clearance crosses the Okeechobee Waterway and connects Britt Point with Stuart. See Concerned. The Loxahatchee RR bascule bridge crosses the AICW at MM 1005. See Replacement.

    • Ancient Nautilus, Uncertain Future

      The nautilus’s lineage made it through all five of Earth’s previous mass extinctions. But can it survive the Anthropocene?

      A tentacled fuzzy nautilus swims in the deep waters off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Though the nautilus is well known in some ways, it’s also mysterious; researchers studying it hope to get a handle on how it’s responding to impacts of the Anthropocene. Photo by Peter Ward

    • SCDNR Courtesy Boat Inspections set for July 4th Holiday Weekend

      South Carolina Department of Natural Resources


      SCDNR courtesy boat inspections set for July 4th holiday weekend

      Officers will perform quick but thorough safety inspections at boat landings across the state July 2, July 3 and July 4

      In an effort to keep people and waterways safe during the Independence Day holiday, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Law Enforcement Division will once again be conducting courtesy boat inspections at some public boat landings around the state. The Fourth of July weekend is the year’s busiest weekend on state waters, and officers want to do everything possible to keep boaters out of harm’s way.

      SCDNR officers will perform quick but thorough inspections for required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registration. Those who are not in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections. Instead, they will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat. SCDNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water.

      Additional courtesy boat inspections will also be hosted later in July.

      To report boating violations such as reckless operation or an intoxicated boat operator, call the SCDNR toll-free, 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-5431. For a copy of South Carolina’s boating regulations, to find out about local boating safety courses or to obtain a free float plan form, contact the SCDNR Boating Safety Office at 1-800-277-4301 or visit the Boater Education page.
