Epipelagic is the area of the water column extending from the surface of the water down to 700 feet. Since is the only zone that the sunlight can penetrate this is the only zone where plants reside. Consequently, this is where 90% of ocean life hangs out. The epipelagic zone is also known as the […]
No joke. I like horseshoe crabs, but not more than my family. Especially my mom. Let me tell you a story about how incredible she was one particular evening in early June. It was probably about 2002 and I was a seasonal employee for the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. The job was awesome […]
Well, it’s finally happened. My almost seven-year old is bringing on the thought-provoking questions. We talk a lot about how what we do in our house will affect our watershed and that in turn (collectively) affects the world. Well, I was snagged the other day when I said, “Well, the river goes to the lake […]
Socially responsible fish! So, it is the end of a long day on the beach and now you want some seafood. Completely understandable. And, I applaud this question and the quest to be socially responsible. Your choices will make a difference. It is a tough question to always have a correct up-to-date answer, especially since […]
See if you can guess what these marine-related acronyms stand for with the clues provided. AFS: Organization of fisheries professionals. Seattle is hosting their conference this year. BCS: A nice and funny blogger who enjoys making marine science entertaining (and it has nothing to do with college football). CBP: A regional partnership that has led […]
From the post on February 8, 2010 “Seashell, seashell by the seashore” 1. Sea Biscuit 2. Cushion Star or Bahamas Star 3. Purple-spined Sea Urchin 4. Pear Whelk 5. Fighting Conch 6. Calico Scallop
Some form of this question is probably the question I get the most often on BCS. It is usually a bit more blunt, “Why do you do your Beach Chair Scientist?” or “What made you come up with the idea?” It is simple. I was sitting in a web design class at the Bethesda Writer’s […]
I am a volunteer for the Illinois Ocean Coalition. This is a new position for me – as my family and I recently relocated from the Washington, D.C. area to the Chicagoland area. One question I get a lot now is “You know there isn’t an ocean in Illinois, right?” As a biology and earth […]
If you’re anything like me, you love to snap pictures when you’re outside. It’s a great way to relive the tranquility you get from being outdoors once placed back into reality. It’s also a powerful way to share how you see the world and what matters to you with those near and far! In an […]
Surely you’ve taken pictures with Flat Stanley, a tool used to advance children’s literacy – But, did you know that you can now take a shark on your adventures? Grab a Shark Stanley printout and show your support for shark conservation by participating in this initiative of the Shark Defenders. Help them reach their goal […]

is it possible that the spirits of the ancestors of Africans are trying to retaliate the bad ways,some whites treated them during the slave trade.After all when they were carrying them across the sea,some fell into the seas,as a matter of fact most of them were sick and died cause for fear of infection of diseases they were thrown into the river.
i can solve the mystery
I think it must have been a black hole or something
i think this is the point where gravitational force is maximum.
tripp out
salam
i think as we muslims believe is correct
IT IS SOMETHING DIVINE
the capitol of the last divine link IMAM MEHDI(a.s)
the things happening is so different. i will try and find the scerete of bermuda triangle. its my one of the aim
Mystery has been solved. There is an active Valcano under the sea.
Regards
I thought the bermuda triangle was located off Ponce Inlet FL. and New Symerna Beach Fl Why does it say otherwise. It has a picture showing Miama and it sould have a Picture starting with Daytona Beach FL or Ponce Inlet FL.
angelo how can u solve the mystery??????
Sayed Agha Ali..You terribly mistaken! there is NO such a thing in Islam..Imam Mehdi is going to be recognised in Makkah. Islam might have NO link whatsoever to the Bermuda Triangle!
i think that its a kind of ocean flood nothing to worry about.
i think there is something magnetic power in that region thats why these all are happening.
I actually thought the Bermuda triangle was more mysterious than what i just read but its not. if there are ships passing through it every day it must be like any other part of the ocean. But if there is something more to it then who ever wants to solve the mystery must have an interview with the Creator Himself He Knows what is going on there.
We need spiritual intervention to solve the problem .
there is some natural power which attracts everythingcomes close to him.
I sailed singlehanded in a 10 meter yacht from San Juan, Puerto Rico, from 22 January 2007 thru the Bermuda triangle and survived. It aint a threat like everybody thinks!
its kida scary. somthing to do with neuclear physics!!!
Its a beauty by nature
Hey, prince what do you mean by him?
send me document bermuda
triangle
Hey im a muslim…
not really too religious tho :$
but this is my theory
in the quraan it says jaal is still on earth in a cave
this only fits in so well that god put jaal in one of these islands and put a boundry so no man could reach the jaal
Hey all.
God knows better who is there, what is that eg Gravitational Force ? ? ?
i think there must be something like a gravitational force which is pulling the ships,air crafts etc.so research is to be done on that place
I love this information
there r some creations of allah which d technology could not login still now..!!!!
i believe it is the place where gravitation force is maximum . eventhough we cant believe the missings of so many metres big and heavy tonnes planes and ships r missing. there must be a black hole. is there a relation between this triangle and2012. what do u say . both r misterious and should be known. get me some documents about it. what about the history in past says about it.
hi ! i’v done intesive research on the whole phenomena and i have come to a conlusion that completely dematerialises any unscientific perception of the phenomena.
1.)The Bermuda triangle is one of the only 2 places on earth that the magnetic compass points to the true north!
2.)Most incidents have been logically explained!
3.)ships & planes go through every day,it has all been blown out of reasonable proportions!
conclusion: it is amere case of earth’s natural magnetism interfering with the ships’ &planes’ normal operating patterns!

i want to know aboyt bermuda triangle briefly
ok, well since most of the mysterious disapearances are aircraft- it is either stronger gravitational pull- or a magnetic field, which would affect compasses. since magnetivity doesnt affect ships as much as an airplane- whereas if u lose the bearing of your plane’s altitude, wing degree, or direction, your fate is close to sealed. with ships- you can always look at the sun or stars for a direction, and you would know if the ship is upside down. a stronger gravitational pull would; also effect planes much more than ships. there are many different theories about this, but these are the scientific facts.
IT IS AMAZING
hey! i m a muslims.
According to me in bermuda something natural powers exist which ALMIGHTY ALLAH don’t wanna show us now it can be related from judgment day (the end of the earht) or it can be related from DAJJAL that he live there. that’s ALL…
God is great,he kept somethings as secret to we human,that even the greatest scientific inventions can’t unravel. If he should make everything straight forward and clear… how are we going to understand that he is the lord of the universe. Please i’ll like to appeal to all those muslim brothers to speak there mind and stop using religion as reference to what they ain’t sure about.Happy boxing day fellas
it is nothing to do with gravity being at its strongest point because as physics has proved gravity is always constant.
i personally think it will be something to do with electrical storms and bad weather.
