Yeah, they can't. So this is part of the ocean that scientists have a really hard time getting information from. It's called the Twilight Zone, one of my favorite shows. It's hundreds to thousands of feet below the surface. And Roxanne says not knowing the true number of fish in these dark depths is a problem.

No, it's not new. So fog collection is like an old technique. And scientists have been studying it for at least 40 years. But all of that data came from small villages. And now a new study in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science shows that fog could be a viable source of drinking water in a big city too.

Well, after collecting data at various like fog collection sites for a year, the researchers used a computer model to map how much water could be collected from fog over this whole region. And they found that fog could supply hundreds of thousands of liters of drinking water per week. enough to supplement the water demands of under-resourced parts of the city.
