The Government’s marine development team has been recognised for its work with an excellence award. The Premier, David Burt, and the Head of the Public Service, Derrick Binns, recognised the team of Tammy Warren, Andrew Petit, Sarah Manuel, Joanna Pi...

Another month has gone by and, hopefully, with it the likelihood of any more hurricanes. Further disruption is the last thing anyone needs, and those tropical systems sure know how to bring about chaos. Let them take their foul attentions elsewhere, ...

Will summer ever end? At least properly, when the weather is dominated by the regular passage of cold fronts and their related gales. Enough already of the tropical systems – it is almost October, and it is definitely autumn. Hurricanes, tropical ...

Dear Sir, Please allow me this opportunity to comment on the Government’s Bermuda Ocean Prosperity Programme proposal. This consists of two documents covering a variety of topics relating to economics and use of the marine environment. The one area ...

They say some like it hot, but just for now, that does not include most sports fishermen. The seas are calm, the sun relentless and the fish are behaving accordingly. Trips out to the Banks are either looking for billfish, a much-diminished occupat...

If anyone has any mal-de-mare-based qualms as to taking a sortie on the briny, well, it doesn’t get much calmer than this. Sometimes referred to as the doldrums and often associated with sailing ships being becalmed for weeks. The poem The Rime of th...
