74. Environmental Problems USAF Kadena Marina. In addition to the above SCUBA and snorkeling activities, recreational boating is becoming more and more popular. http://www.rfbolland.com/okislugs/problems.html

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Crown-of-thorns Starfish Starfish predation is generally blamed for coral reef destruction in the Archipelago. In the past the GOJ (Government of Japan) has spent vast sums of money to "control" Crown-of-thorns ( Acanthaster planci ) infestations by removing the adult animals (Yamaguchi, 1986). However, not only have these control efforts failed, they have increased the problem in two ways. They divert money that could otherwise be used in basic research to the causes of the Crown-of-thorns (COTS) population increases, and they divert attention to what may be the real cause of the coral reef crisis: man's activities on land (Muzik, 1985). Birkeland (1982, 1989) contends that outbreaks of Crown-of-thorns can frequently be predicted 3 years following heavy rains exceeding intensities of 30cm in 24 hours. The heavy rains increase the amount of nutrients in the water, therefore increasing the amount of plankton necessary for survival of the COTS larvae. The larval COTS, under conditions of increased plankton, have a much higher probability of survival. With remarkably high numbers of eggs being produced (65 million per large female), even a slight increase in survival of the larval COTS can result in high numbers of adults in a given area. Sedimentation And Red Clay Suspension Where does the red clay runoff come from? It is a result of erosion on land, from extensive deforestation for dams, extensive leveling of land for new pineapple and sugar cane fields and from construction. The cutting down of dense northern Okinawan forests is threatening the habitat of many endemic animals and plants (e.g., an Okinawan bird, a rail, locally called the

This page brought to you by the experts at: TO BE OR NOT TO BE NITROX With the ongoing in advances in technology, NITROX also called Enriched Air, EANx, SafeAir (tm), and several other names has become increasingly popular. One of the most common misconceptions is that Nitrox is only for deep and technical diving. Well, this couldn't be farther from the truth. While mixtures other than air are used by deep and technical divers, enriched air mixtures provide the greatest benefits between 40 and 130 feet. Every recreational diver, even the occasional diver can benefit from the reduced nitrogen levels of Enriched Air. Enriched Air is simply air that is enriched with additional oxygen. Generally the mixture has an oxygen concentration between 22% and 50%. Because of the requirements a proper blending station must maintain to ensure safe practices, Enriched Air is cleaner than ordinary compressed air because it contains less condensed hydrocarbons. It is NOT a "mixed gas", used only by commercial and professional divers. Enriched Air and can be used by any properly trained recreational diver. Although no special diving equipment is required. The diver's cylinders and regulator system must be properly cleaned and serviced for Enriched Air mixtures according to manufacturer's guidelines. While there are still some underground debates about the necessity for cleaning and converting equipment, it is the safest practice. Many manufactures make "Nitrox Ready" equipment right out of the box.

This page brought to you by the experts at: The concept of more than one cylinder, though most commonly associated with "Technical Diving" also has significant application to the recreational diver when he or she chooses utilize the benefits of a Redundant Breathing System (also known as a "Pony System"). Diving statistics from many sources all closely agree that 50% of diving fatalities and 70% of accidents overall, occur from out of gas (air) emergencies. Utilizing an RBS eliminates the need to share air with a buddy or perform an emergency ascent to the surface. By incorporating a totally independent breathing system into the total diving system a diver can avoid "out of air"/"loss of air" emergencies. As with any and all diving equipment proper training and equipment configuration are a must. While the latest "basic open water" diver programs now incorporate the use of an "RBS", a diver will need to practice in a controlled environment before "jumping in". An RBS is comprised of a small high pressure cylinder, standard valve, regulator first stage, a second stage with a low pressure hose of 36" to 39", a mounting device for securing the system to the main cylinder and an optional cylinder pressure monitor.

The Golden Years It's the Season for Snorkeling Article by Joel Simon "Snorkeling begins at 70!" These are not my words. They belong to Barbara Gillot, an energetic woman from Salinas, California, who I was privileged to recently introduce to the wonders of the undersea world. Barbara is not alone. Many of her contemporaries share her enthusiasm for snorkeling both as a recreational physical activity and as an exhilarating firsthand exploration of the aquatic wilderness. Learning to snorkel is a skill anyone comfortable in the water can easily master, regardless of age. After several days snorkeling, Sue Hess, a 60-something bundle of energy, exclaimed: "I feel ten years younger, and 20 years braver!" And after a successful first day of a week-long snorkeling program, New York City resident Joe Richards, nearly 75, commented with sudden realization: "It seems as though I’ve just scheduled half my vacation underwater!" Individual aptitude for snorkeling varies. In addition to learning the fit and use of equipment, many people must cope with more complex issues: long-term fear of the water, feelings of claustrophobia, or even lack of swimming ability. Becoming comfortable in the water often involves as much psychology as skill development. Almost anyone who truly wants to see the ocean's habitat through a face mask can do it with the help of a patient instructor someone who will encourage developing self-confidence and trust in the ocean at the snorkeler's own pace.

78. Sea For Yourself - Snorkeling Safaris - The Snorkeling Experience We consider snorkeling both an enjoyable recreational activity and a simple skill that allows you to directly participate in the underwater wilderness. http://www.seaforyourself.com/experience.htm

We Get You to the Best Snorkeling Sites! Unfortunately for snorkeling enthusiasts, most tropical resorts cater to the needs of SCUBA divers rather than snorkelers. A typical, frustrating scenario for independent snorkelers: You arrive at a remote, tropical resort and find that SCUBA divers are provided with dive boats, while you are limited to just those spots you can reach from the beach often missing the best spots. While shore snorkeling can be excellent, many of the most exciting snorkeling sites are more easily accessed by boat. Or, if you're lucky, you may be permitted to "tag along" on a dive boat, but are firmly instructed to stay out of the way of the divers. When the dive is over, so is your snorkel. Snorkeling when and where you want! On Sea for Yourself programs, we charter boats exclusively for our groups. We dictate the timing and location, picking the most ideal sites for snorkeling, not diving. This allows us as snorkelers to experience and savour some of the world's most spectacular underwater treasures. You also will experience the natural and cultural history of each destination we visit. While the emphasis is on appreciation of the

The Island Home The Island Island Photos Eco-Village Purchasing Parcels/Prices ... Print-Friendly Version of this page The Island of Long Caye borders the southwestern side of the Lighthouse Reef Atoll and is the dominant Island in the Atoll. An atoll is large lagoon with coral formations around its perimeter. The islands in the atoll are land masses where the coral buildup is above sea level and plant life has taken root. Lighthouse Reef is one of only four atolls in the Western Hemisphere. Long Caye is located approximately 45 miles east of Belize City in the southern quarter of the atoll, which is 27 miles in length (North and South) and about eight miles wide. The Island itself is 2 1/4 miles in For tropical migratory birds, Long Caye serves as an essential rest stop during the long flights north and south. As more and more habitats are destroyed or lost to development along the migration routes, islands such as Long Caye play an ever increasingly important role in this seasonal migration. Due to its significant size and extreme eastern location, this Island is unique in these open waters of the Caribbean.
