New Techniques Reveal Deep Sea Wonders

Operation Deep Scope has a new Eye-in-the-Sea deep-sea camera system that is revealing amazing animals never before seen, says EurekAlert.  A test run in the Gulf of Mexico by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute saw a fluorescent shark, a fluorescent sea anemone, a large squid and some fish that became invisible at certain angles in polarized light.  The team had some close calls with sharks, and had to dodge a hurricane.

This was a positive story of discovery and adventure.  Discovery and evolution-talk can be mutually exclusive.  This report needed Darwinese like a fish needs a bicycle.  Good work.
