Ive seen fish up close. there pretty cool. they look weird to. ive seen fish on tv that look like there not supposed to be on this earth! some have HUGE eyes, And HUGEER than HUGE mouths. some even look kind of freaky. But some almost look like a night light. :) i like learning about the sea. but sometimes if the stuff is to close or creepy i dont think ill handle it well. -_-'' so working with fish is way out of this. But wat i said in the first sentence is true. BUT they were SMALL fish. SO save the fish! thats all!

Can you add cameras to the NIU?

I was wondering if you (the team at Archnoetics) would be able to add a camera to the NIU to look at the animals in the ocean? It wouldn't help to find ocean currents, but it would still be cool!

Great Book on Sea Turtles

I just recently read "Voyage of the Turtle: In Pursuit of the Earth's Last Dinosaur" by Carl Safina. If you would like to learn about sea turtles and the challenges they're facing around the world for survival, I can't imagine a better book exists on the subject.

The author's style of writing is one of the best I've ever seen. I often sat in shear amazement as to how well he uses words to relay his stories. I am really looking forward to reading his other books (also listed below).
