Local deep-sea explorers have a unique new asset

The University of South Florida St. Petersburg is now the first academic institution in the continental United States to house a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of deep-sea exploration.

The ROV Taurus can reach depths of 2.5 miles and transmit high-definition, live-streamed video to researchers at the Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) and its host, the USF College of Marine Science (CMS). A specially designed research vessel stationed along Bayboro Harbor will permanently house the state-of-the-art submersible.

The gang’s all here as Jobsite launches ‘Rocky Horror’

In the 25 years he’s been at the helm of Jobsite Theater, David M. Jenkins says, he’s never seen a production sell as quickly as The Rocky Horror Show, which runs July 10-Aug. 4 in the Jaeb Theatre.

Good thing, too. Like every other arts company in Florida, Jobsite took a major hit when the governor made the decision in June to line-item veto any and all arts subsidies for 2024-25.
