It was almost like a hallucination. Immediate. A sense of dislocation. Something was awry. A few seconds earlier, seen from the surface, everything had looked normal. The midday sun shot arrows of light through the dappled water, illuminating a routine reef in an isolated backwater of an exhausted sea. But no sooner had I submerged—my bubbles had had no time to disperse nor the mist to clear from my mask—than I knew I was in the grip of the weird. Time was out of joint.

The Issue In recent years the government of the Republic of Cuba has sought to exploit and expand the mining of Nickel and Cobalt, especially in the Eastern region of their island. This action has raised several concerns that directly, or indirectly effect both the actual physical enviorment of Cuba, as well as the social/political scene, including the issue of Human Rights. Furthermore, the issue of trade is also involved in this scenario as a result of the United States trade embargo against Cuba, as codified in the Helms-Burton Legislation. These U.S. actions have infuriated Canadawhose firms lead the ranks of foreign investors in Cuba. Canada has initiated a complaint against the United States under the North American Free Trade Agreement. 2. Description At present the economy of Cuba is in a severe state of crisis. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union Cuba now finds herself in a situation where its traditional main export (sugar) will not save the country from further economic difficulties. Thus, the Cuban government has sought mesures in which it can diversify its stagnent economy. Cuba has established 211 joint ventures with foreigners and attracted some $5 billion in foreign investment deals, mostly in tourism, communications, mining, petroleum and agriculture. Havana is eager to attract new investment in biotechnology and assembly plants in Cuba's new free-trade zones. This has included everything to increasing and improving the facilities related to the tourism sector. It has also included reviving and expanding the mining of Nickel and Cobalt.

94. Explorers Comb Cuban Seas For Treasure, Mysteries ADC is excited but reluctant to speculate until a joint investigation with the cuban Academy of Sciences and the US National Geographic (news web sites http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news671.html

Monday May 14 11:59 AM ET Explorers Comb Cuban Seas for Treasure, Mysteries By Andrew Cawthorne HAVANA (Reuters) - Barely touched since the colonial era of piracy and shipwrecks, sea bottoms around Cuba are an underwater fantasy world promising treasure-laden sunken ships, insights into times gone by and maybe even a lost city. Once a hub for shipments of gold, silver and other plunder from New World to Old, the Caribbean island's waters likely hide billions of dollars' worth of treasure from hundreds of ships that sank after encountering reefs, storms or pirates. But that is not all that tempts foreign companies, which, in a joint venture with President Fidel Castro (news - web sites)'s government, are beginning an unprecedented, systematic search of one of the world's most-fascinating, least-explored undersea regions. As well as gold-laden Spanish galleons, important secrets and insights into regional history, global environment trends, ancient geography and marine science also lurk in the depths. ``It's a new frontier,'' enthused Soviet-born Canadian ocean engineer Paulina Zelitsky, from British Columbia-based Advanced Digital Communications, poring over video images of hitherto unseen seafloor taken by underwater robots.
