Dolphin Quest Bermuda’s Large, Natural Ocean Sanctuary for Dolphins
In this video, you’ll hear from Michelle Campbell, Vice President of Animals at Dolphin Quest who speaks to the natural and enriching environment our dolphins enjoy at Dolphin Quest Bermuda. This expansive ocean water sanctuary mirrors the shallow bays where the coastal ecotype of bottlenose dolphins are found in the wild, and it provides a safe and sacred place for our dolphins to educate and inspire people to protect marine mammals in the wild.

The Complete Hidden Gems: Bermuda
Good things come in small packages – and nowhere is that more true than the islands of Bermuda. That’s right, the “islands.” Most visitors think Bermuda is just one island, but it’s more than 120 of them. Watch the full video of Peter's Hidden Gems: Bermuda, as he uncovers places and experiences that even the locals don't know about. From spicy Bermudian cuisine to off-the-beaten path islands with rare inhabitants, this is a Bermuda you haven't see before.
Bermuda is world famous for its pink sand beaches, but for the real experience you have to get off the shore and into the water. One of the best ways to see the island is by small boat. Bermuda is covered with small and large coves, harbours and beaches. Maneuvering around the water is easy by water. You’ll get a firsthand look at the 4,500 marine organisms that make Bermuda home. Being on the water is also the best way to explore the island’s sunken history. The islands are surrounded by five centuries’ worth of shipwrecks. One wreck you don’t want to miss is the HMS Vixen, which you can visit by Jet Ski. You’ll also want to explore the caves of the Admiralty House Cliffs, some of which you can only enter from the water. There are also more than 150 inland caves, such as the subterranean limestone wonderland of the Grotto Bay Beach Resort.
The islands of Bermuda are linked with bridges and causeways, making it seem like one big island. But beyond the beaten path, there are pristine spots like Nonsuch Island, a wildlife sanctuary, accessible only by boat – and you need permission to dock here. Small groups can see and learn about seabirds and the chicks in their nests. Nonsuch’s most special inhabitant is the Cahow, a rare seabird that is the emblem of Bermuda. The bird was thought extinct by 1620, but 330 years later the Cahow was found living on Nonsuch Island. Over the last 70 years, conservationists have worked to bring the number of Cahows from 14 to well over 100.
On land, rent a scooter to see the island up-close-and-personal. Head to the Bermuda Pefumery, where owner/perfumer Isabelle Ramsay Brackstone creates one-of-a-kind scents. She uses Bermuda’s flowers and trees as inspiration. Another unique Bermuda product can be found at Chartwell Apiaries, where beekeeper Randolph Furber keeps about 100 hives. A visit here is a master class in the art of honey production.
You’re going to find a lot of fine dining in Bermuda. But you can also get out and eat like a local. For authentic Bermuda food, come to the Fish Hut in Hamilton, known for its BIG fish sandwich. The island also has a national obsession with fish chowder, which you can try at the Black Horse Tavern. Made with sherry peppers, rockfish and black rum, it’s a delicious combination.
The Royal Naval Cemetary (aka the Glade) has memorials for those who died while serving the British military in Bermuda. The gravestones here go into detail about the person’s life and death – a great look at Bermuda’s history. For even more history, go to church – Bermuda has more churches per capita than any other nation in the world and each one has its own special story. In Warwick Parish, pay a visit to Cobbs Hill Methodist Church, built by slaves and free blacks back in the 1820s.

Through Paget, Devonshire, Pembroke and Smiths Parishes led us to Spittal Pond. We went to the Botanical Gardens (pass on that) and what was a fort in Devonshire (uh, not really anything now).

Bermuda's Blue Halo could become the largest marine reserve in the Atlantic Ocean. Right now, every Bermudian has the opportunity to weigh in at:
Join the public consultation process by clicking on the above link. If created, the Blue Halo would encompass much of the island's Exclusive Economic Zone within the Sargasso Sea. It will help preserve the ocean environment for future generations and ensure that fish stocks remain abundant for fishermen.

MATE ROV Competition Comes Home to Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center
Alpena- Underwater robots, experts in marine technology, and eager students ready to test their skills are what you can find this Saturday in Alpena.
For the first time ever, the 2018 Great Lakes Regional MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Competition will be held at the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center. Students will now compete in a 500 ft. dive tank versus the Alpena High School pool. A water filtration system was installed last Fall which was made possible by a grant from the Besser Foundation.
“Before we weren’t able to have the event on campus,” said Katie Wolf, Director of Friends of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. “the cool thing about that for students is that they will be really immersed in actual research setting.”
Students from the region and all around the Great Lakes will present their robot to judges, compete in real world challenges that Maritime Archaeologist and Divers face, and meet with current experts in the field. Just over 100 students will be participating this year with 14 teams looking to take home the glory. Four of the teams are from Alpena. The competition is one of many throughout the world.
The theme for this year’s event worldwide is “Jet City” where students have to design their ROV to locate and retrieve an airport engine, recover a seismometer, and install a tidal turbine to help monitor the environment. The theme was based off the Pacific Northwest where experts in the field encounter similar challenges when using their ROV. For the students, it’s a good chance to simulate real world issues that current experts face.
“Informal education offers interdisciplinary opportunities so the students get to practice their science, technology, engineering, and math skills when their building the robots,” said Wolf.
The event kicks off at 8:00am and will continue on throughout the day. No need to buy a ticket, the competition is free and open to the public to watch. You can find out more information by visiting the website here or by heading to the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Facebook page here.
