As @covertshores.bsky.social pointed out, it’s normal for Kilos to travel to/from the MedSea on the surface. However, now the sub is in the Baltic, apparently that Finnish expert takes a different view:

“It is not diving, even though curious cameras and even a Swedish naval ship are following it.”

“Based on the dedicated efforts of open source information gatherers, it can be assessed that the visible 🇷🇺Russian naval presence in the MedSea will sink this week to just a single submarine, supplemented by its lonely tugboat escort and the intelligence-collection Project 864 vessel Viktor Leonov.”

🚨Paper alert!
🐟 What do young Atlantic bluefin tuna eat in the Mediterranean?
📍 We studied their diet in the Gulf of Valencia over 30 years.
🔍 Have their habits changed? Are they affecting sardines and anchovies?

👇 Let’s dive in!

Today, I've watched this docu-film of Dr.Mert Gökalp,a marine biologist.
#Endangered MedSea dusky grouper which can live up to 60 years, FISHED to EXTINCTION, mainly through spearfishing.
This species is unique for its sequential hermaphroditism,it's born as female,becomes male around the age of 12.

Italy is seeking a new maritime patrol aircraft for anti-submarine warfare in the MedSea. The most obvious candidate would be 🇺🇸 Boeing’s P-8. However, given the current political situation, 🇮🇹 is also considering acquiring a non-US model. One possible candidate would be the 🇯🇵 Japanese Kawasaki P-1.
Kawasaki P-1 gegen US-Muster: Statt USA - Kauft Italien Seeaufklärer aus Japan?
Italien sucht einen neuen Seeaufklärer zum Einsatz gegen U-Boote im Mittelmeer. Die Südeuropäer erwägen auch ein nicht aus den USA stammendes Muster.

🌊🧪 The anomaly for the Mediterranean Sea subtracting the climate warming using @copernicusmarine.bsky.social data. The Balearic Sea in 2024 has not behaved as the rest of the Med. Sea.
2022-2024 years seem to be the greatest increase of the positive anomaly of all the series. Let's hope it stops

True. But then, propulsion and steering systems supposedly can be manipulated. Will be interesting to see what happened in this case. (Also in the recent case of the aircraft carrier USS Truman that hit a merchant vessel in the MedSea - quite strange for a warship to overlook so large an object).
