Gibralter Strait:
As the tides slosh back and forth over the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, the water must go up and over the shallow sill between Europe and Africa that separates the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, GENERATING GIANT WAVES. Crests are formed on the left hand side of the sill and then propagate to the right. And you can even see the waves getting all squished as they go through the narrow constriction that is the Strait of Gibraltar.
As flow sloshes over the hump, waves are generated at the rainbow interface of the fresher surface layer (blue) with the saltier deep layer (red). And it is a gorgeous train of waves that heads to the right. A bunch of wiggles heading eastward where they will eventually break somewhere in the Mediterranean.

2012 Dr. Sylvia Earle in the News!
OCEANS: Sylvia Earle's Journey:
In 1979, Sylvia Earle walked untethered on the sea floor at a lower depth than any living human being before or since. In the so-called Jim suit, a pressurized one-atmosphere garment, she was carried by a submersible down to the depth of 1,250 feet below the ocean's surface off of the island of Oahu. At the bottom, she detached from the vessel and explored the depths for two and a half hours with only a communication line connecting her to the submersible, and nothing at all connecting her to the world above. She described this adventure in her 1980 book: Exploring the Deep Frontier.
On Friday's show, comedian Ellen Degeneres tackled the not-so-funny situation that industrialized fishing has created in the ocean. Speaking with Captain Dave Anderson, who recently helped to free a gray whale entangled in fishing nets off Dana Point, California, Ellen spoke directly about drift nets, by-catch, and how she chose to give up eating fish once she realized what it took to get fish onto her plate. Pointing out to her fans that an ocean with no fish in 50 years is not the future we want, she challenged them to take action to change the dangerous course we are on while there is still time.
