I am here once again to share breaking news in the world of fisheries science/marine biology

Currently everyone is going wild over a paper about goblin sharks that cited a photo which others have pointed out looks incredibly suspiciously similar to a goblin shark toy

I've seen people calling it SharkGate already

Size does matter, if you are a submarine. I had the great joy, this summer, to be given a rundown of this beauty at the HCMR (Hellenic Centre for Marine Research), on the island of Crete, by the Director of the Department handling it. Everything is made to endure pressure. The weakest parts are the cable boxes; but they are filled with a special oil so that the water from the sea does not push against air, thus breaking it. These machines need to big large for a very simple reason: they must be able to push against things without themselves being pushed back. This is important during sample collection. They need to grab and yank, sometimes, and being hefty is a good thing. This contraption does research, whenever funding permits, and helps recover anything that falls into the water that the Government doesn’t want to be lost. I know there are small underwater drones coming out from different manufacturers. Any feedback on how they work? [It’s me in the picture, for size comparison; I’m about 172cm or 5 feet, 7.7 inches tall]. In Nannion, there are descriptions of somewhat more futuristic versions of such devices.

Aegean volunteers battle to turn plastic waste tide

Aegean volunteers battle to turn plastic waste tide

In its two years of operation, Aegean Rebreath has amassed 9,000 plastic water bottles, 3,6 tonnes of fishing net and 289 tyres

Dressed in her protective wetsuit and scuba gear, Antigone Kouteri jumps into the murky waters of Zakynthos harbour in search of plastics—and promptly snags her arm on a submerged object.

“It was a tyre,” offers her patrol mate Efthymis, coming up with a discarded beer bottle. “My treat!” he jibes.

The Ionian island of Zakynthos is one of Greece’s most pristine travel destinations, renowned for its azure waters and fabulous beaches, an environment clean enough to be a major Mediterranean nesting ground sought out by loggerhead sea turtles.

But even here, plastic pollution poses a grave threat to wildlife.

Kouteri is one of nearly a dozen volunteers from Aegean Rebreath, a Greek organisation formed in 2017 to protect Aegean biodiversity from waste.

Within three hours, the team has collected four tyres, two shopping carts, a street lamp, metal boxes, plastic bags, dozens of plastic bottles and several kilometres of fishing line.

“Marine litter is a global issue, so it is (present) in Greece. More than 70 percent of marine litter is plastic in Greece,” says Katerina Tsagari, a biologist at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research near Athens.

Tsagari says her team has found litter, most of it plastic, in about 75 percent of loggerhead sea turtles tested.

WWF has reported that Greece produces 700,000 tonnes of plastic per year, of which 11,500 tonnes end up in the sea

Overall, they have found plastic ingestion in between 20 and 45 percent of the species tested, which include fish and mussels.

With a coastline of some 14,000 kilometres (8,500 miles), one of the longest in the southeastern Mediterranean, Greece attracts tens of millions of tourists every year.

It’s a regional problem. The Mediterranean, a partly closed sea, accumulates 570,000 tonnes of plastic annually from surrounding countries, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

WWF has reported that Greece produces 700,000 tonnes of plastic per year, or 68 kilos per capita. Out of that, 11,500 tonnes end up in the sea, it said.

‘Junkyard’ beneath the waves

“There is a junkyard beneath the blue waters,” says Violetta Walczyk, a Greek-Polish lawyer active with Aegean Rebreath.

On the Cycladic island of Andros, mounds of waste from a 2011 hilltop landfill collapse are still to be found in the sea below.

In its two years of operation, Aegean Rebreath has amassed 9,000 plastic water bottles, 3,6 tonnes of fishing net and 289 tyres.

The government readily admits that nearly 40 tonnes of plastic waste end up in Greek seas every day.

It recently started a campaign to phase out single-use plastics such as cups and straws—no small feat in a country with a huge coffee-to-go market.

Speaking to AFP last month, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that marine protection was a “key priority” for a country so dependent on tourism.

Greece continues to pay millions of euros in fines to the European Commission concerning the operation of illegal landfills.

But recycling efforts are still basic. Greece last year eliminated free supermarket bags, long after other European countries.

“Recycling in Greece is a joke,” snorts George Sarelakos, the co-founder of Aegean Rebreath.

“Every municipality has its own policy, there is no central strategy,” he told AFP.

George Triantafyllou, the HCMR’s head of research, says the institute is coordinating a European project, Claim, across 13 EU countries in addition to Tunisia and Lebanon to eliminate microplastics.

The project includes developing photocatalytic technology to accelerate the degradation of microplastics in seas and rivers, he notes.

The HCMR has also helped develop a floating litter-collection barrier that is currently deployed at the mouth of Kifissos river in Athens.

“I believe everybody should change habits. We don’t have to use plastics in our everyday life,” says George Triantaphyllidis.
