Updated Google Maps Satellite Images Show Japan One Year After the Earthquake - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in Article

It was a year ago today that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami destroyed a large swath of the northeastern coast of Japan. The area has come a long way over the past year — according to the New York Times almost all roads have been repaired — and now with updated Google Maps imagery we can get a look for ourselves to see how the recovery efforts are coming along. The images, which come from GeoEye and were taken within the past month or so, are available now in Google Maps and Google Earth. The company has offered two comparison shots with images of Shiogama Port and Minami Sanriku Town in Miyagi (reproduced above and below, respectively), but if you want to compare for yourself, go here for satellite images taken in March of last year.

New Funding for Bycatch Projects - GeoEye SeaStar Fisheries Information Service Featured in Article

The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) has announced new contributions from three organisations that will support at-sea science projects with the goal of reducing bycatch in tuna fisheries.


The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) donated $100,000 to fund the purchase of new equipment including acoustic tags, tracking equipment, survival tags, GPS sonar buoys, and other high-tech equipment for at-sea research in the Western and Central Pacific region.


Marine Instruments, S.A., a Spanish electronic company specialising in tracking systems for the marine environment and fishing sector, along with American geospatial technology developer, GeoEye, have each donated several M3i buoys, which feature built in echo-sounders that can be used for tracking and monitoring FADs. GeoEye has also donated a subscription to its SeaStar Fisheries Information Service, providing daily oceanographic charts and weather forecasting for ISSF-sponsored research.


"The generous contributions we have received from the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council, Marine Instruments and GeoEye will give research scientists access to equipment that we believe will lead to a new standard of best fishing practices, and ultimately better conservation of our ocean's resources" said ISSF president Susan Jackson...
