Much of the Ocean Remains Unsurveyed
- "Academics at the University of St Andrews and the University of Freiburg studied more than 1100 estimates of the abundance of whales, dolphins and porpoises reported in more than 400 surveys conducted worldwide between 1975 and 2005. The painstaking research found that a mere 6 per cent of ocean surfaces have been surveyed adequately." - excerpt from article at phys.org.
