Hour by hour, the vast oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is turning into a disaster of epic proportions. It appears that this will be the most damaging oil spill in the history of the United States.

Some scientists are saying that the spill, the source of which BP admits could take three months to plug, could become the worst ever offshore oil disaster, threatening not only hundreds of species of birds and fish along the Gulf coast but poisoning one of the world's richest seafood grounds.

This is the time for hatching and rearing along the Gulf Coast. Species as diverse as pelicans, shrimp and alligators are all reproducing, or preparing to. That could bring sensitive young animals in contact with toxic oil or cause their parents to plunge into oily waters looking for food.

The Neptune sea-floor observatory in the Pacific Ocean will provide terabytes of data.

Results are pouring in from an ambitious project that has wired the floor of the northeast Pacific Ocean with an array of cameras, seismometers, chemical sensors and more. The challenge won't be getting good data, but rather handling the vast quantities of it, project scientists reported last week at their first post-launch meeting in Victoria, Canada.

The $145-million project, called NEPTUNE Canada (North-East Pacific Time-Series Undersea Networked Experiments), has laid 800 kilometres of cable to transmit power and data, and established five 'nodes' that act like giant, 13-tonne plug-in points for scientific instrumentation, lying up to 2.6 kilometres beneath the waves (see map). The network spans the Juan de Fuca plate, which sits between the Pacific and the North American plates and hosts earthquakes and tsunamis, giant clams and whale pods, along with hydrothermal vents and frozen methane deposits.

Belize Protected Reef Offers Model for Conservation

Scientists claim that a a protected reef in Belize offers hope that MPAs can help with conservation. Glover’s Reef, about 28 miles from the coast of Belize, is one of the only true atolls in the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the site of Belize’s largest “no-take” marine reserve, a 17,500-acre zone where all types of fishing are prohibited. The no-take zone makes up about 20 percent of the wider 87,000-acre Marine Protected Area here. Within 75 percent of the reserve, some types of fishing are allowed, although there are restrictions on the type of gear that can be used.

According to scientists , the marine reserve at Glover’s Reef offers a test case for the viability of similar reserves around the world. They are now hoping to apply some of the conservation strategies here to make other places succeed.

Scientists using a remote-controlled submarine have discovered the deepest known volcanic vent and say the superheated waters inside may contain undiscovered marine species and perhaps even clues to the origin of life on Earth.

Experts in the British scientific expedition said they found the vent more than three miles beneath the surface of the Caribbean Sea in an area known as the Cayman Trough. That is a half a mile deeper than any previously discovered volcanic vent. To view a video and a photo of the "black smoker," go to this site
