    Taking the plunge for the first time in over 6 months – the reopening of Tollcross international swimming centre has been a long time coming for these regulars. While it was all smiles poolside there’s been a swell of concern around the delayed opening of many Glasgow Life venues. The charity operates 171 libraries, museums and leisure facilities across the city but to date only 61 have reopened. With an estimated £38 million pounds in lost revenue the worry is the remainder will stay closed.

    The body of a 29-year-old man who went missing while boating on Lake Tahoe in August was found Saturday at 1,565 feet — the deepest recovery ever recorded in the U.S.

    Bruce’s Legacy, a nonprofit organization that specializes in underwater body recovery, and its founder Keith Cormican, were recruited by the family of Ryan Normoyle after several days of searching with no results.

    The recovery at Lake Tahoe, the second-deepest lake in the U.S. and fourth-deepest in North America with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet, was the deepest in American history, Cormican said.

    The previous deepest recovery in Lake Tahoe was Sept. 17, 2018, when the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office marine unit recovered a body from 1,062 feet below.

    Noise pollution caused by whale-watching boats and other human activity can interrupt orca communications and disorient the marine mammals. Scientists with the nonprofit Ocean Sounds are working to make Norway’s Lofoten archipelago a marine protected area, which would limit noise pollution and prevent oil drilling around the Arctic island chain.
