99% of global data flows through targeted undersea cables
Ninety-nine percent of global data flows through a thin web of undersea cables, carrying the world's international telecommunications. These vulnerable lines are drawing nefarious interest. This is not a future risk, it is a present vulnerability. Protecting this infrastructure demands the same rigor we apply to ocean science: validated, real-time monitoring and global collaboration. Our piece on undersea cable competition explores how this challenge tests international data cooperation. Understanding drives protection.
Charting a Course: Green Shipping Corridors Amid Global Tensions
Maritime shipping generates roughly 2.9% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, and green shipping corridors are emerging as targeted experiments in route-specific decarbonization. This paper examines a critical question: how do stakeholders sustain cooperation on a zero-emission corridor when geopolitical tensions threaten to derail progress? Focusing on the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Shanghai corridor from 2022 to 2025, the analysis introduces two concepts, institutional insulation and negotiated gradualism, that explain how bounded technical workstreams and mutual commercial interest keep collaboration alive.
End of an Era: USS Georgia Submarine Begins Inactivation.
The USS Georgia's final voyage is complete, marking the beginning of its scheduled inactivation. The Navy confirmed the submarine has concluded operations, closing a chapter defined by decades of silent service. This process is not an ending but a transition, a measured step in a broader maritime evolution. As platforms age, new capabilities emerge, and our coverage of autonomous systems integration, such as the Navy's recent center for robotic operations, highlights where the fleet is heading. Understanding this shift is essential.
