Kalissaye Avifaunal Reserve ("Thalasseus maximus") and great white pelicans ("Pelecanus onocrotalus"). Several sea turtle species are quite populous, including loggerheads ("Caretta caretta") and green turtles ("Chelonia mydas"). The common dolphin ("Delphinus delphis") and the African manatee ("Trichechus senegalensis") are also observed in the area. Kalissaye Avifaunal Reserve Kalissaye Avifaunal Reserve (KAR) is a small nature reserve in Senegal, located at the mouth of Kalissaye Pond in the middle of the Casamance River. Like Basse Casamance National Park 35 km away, KAR is currently closed due to the Casamance Conflict. On the small sandy islands making up the reserve, vegetation consists mainly of "Ipomoea
Deep sea creature extreme difference in pressure between the sea floor and the surface makes the creature's survival on the surface near impossible; this makes in-depth research difficult because most useful information can only be found while the creatures are alive. Recent developments have allowed scientists to look at these creatures more closely, and for a longer time. A marine biologist, Jeffery Drazen, has explored a solution, a pressurized fish trap. This captures a deep-water creature, and adjusts its internal pressure slowly to surface level as the creature is brought to the surface, in the hope that the creature can adjust. Another scientific
