Research and Discoveries: The Revolution of Science through Scuba

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Rhodolith (maërl) beds, communities dominated by free living coralline algae, are a common feature of subtidal environments worldwide. Well preserved as fossils, they have long been recognized as important carbonate producers and paleoenvironmental indicators. Coralline algae produce growth bands with a morphology and chemistry that record environmental variation. Rhodoliths are hard but often fragile, and growth rates are only on the order of mm/yr. The hard, complex structure of living beds provide… Show more

“…Nevertheless, everything changed with the invention of the selfcontained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1943, which would revolutionize the study of the marine organisms (Lang et al, 2013). The invention of the SCUBA gear therefore entailed a paradigm shift in the study of benthic communities as, for the first time, scientists gained direct access to benthic ecosystems, allowing for in situ observations of its species (Sayer, 2007;Lang et al, 2013). However, although the average depth of the ocean is 3688 m, the techniques of scientific diving only allow the study of coastal areas (approx.…”
