By Michael Veitch
For ten years, the RV Southern Surveyor represented the leading edge of Australian marine technological know-how. On over a hundred voyages, this former North Sea fishing trawler along with her distinct blue and white livery carried scientists and technicians around the Southern, Pacific and Indian oceans in addition to the waters off northern Australia. She carried out actual, chemical, geological and organic investigations and deployed state of the art tools to map substantial unexplored tracts of the seafloor.
Over the process a 12 months, sooner than her ultimate voyage, Michael Veitch interviewed the Southern Surveyor's former captains and team, aid employees and scientists. the result's a hot, enticing and occasionally dramatic account in their adventures — discovering sunken WWII shipwrecks and swirling coastal vortexes, 'undiscovering' islands and looking at pre-dawn fireworks from undersea volcanoes. yet those also are tales of discovery which inform the legacy of medical innovation and effect that Southern Surveyor left in her wake.

Wasserbauliche Maßnahmen und Bauwerke, die z. B. der Unterhaltung von Gewässern, der Energiegewinnung oder der Ausleitung von Wasser dienen, haben maßgeblichen Einfluss auf aquatische Lebensräume. Allerdings sind die genauen Auswirkungen vor allem auf Fische bislang kaum untersucht und verstanden, da sich die Tiere aufgrund von Strömung und Trübung einer direkten Beobachtung entziehen.
