I found out about Adrian Shine thanks to a Tumblr post some years ago and I've been fascinated with his studies ever since! This was an interesting lecture
About time Adrian Shine picked up his knighthood isn't it? So where's everyone's favorite lookout point at Loch Ness? My two Nessie sightings. 1. Adjacent to the castle in the early hours, from a house window, on the hill near Drumnadrochit, I saw a black narrow and long eclipse shape near the surface which was flat calm. Watched it for an hour but didn't move. Lost sight of it when it got light. 2. Late afternoon, a small dot object made a V wake diagonally across Urquhart bay. To fast for an Otter.
The key to Lock Ness is the river connecting the Lock to the sea. The river should have sonar and cameras at its narrowest points. The most logical is something comes in and goes out by the river. It does not live in Lock Ness all the time, not enough food ... An aside comment : I had a fish tank as a kid, and that tank had a pet eel in it. You could never find the eel, it was always hiding in the setiment gravel or ornate coral rocks in the tank. Only by leaving the tank alone for hours in pitch darkness, then returning suddenly and turning on the lights , could you sometimes get a quick peak of the vanishing eel . One day the eel even escaped the fish tank, they can climb and move a distance while still slippery ... At Lock Ness along the river an eel in the rain and the dark of night, an eel could traverse an impossible stretch and return to the sea... Has anybody been watching the river all this time ?
Loch Ness is so many problems . OK, there is probably nothing there. However the sonar scan years ago did not include the shoreline or shallow areas . That is around fifth miles of shoreline by my rough calculations . All those boats with sonar going may have driven something to shallow areas just to get out of the way ... The dna tests show 20 % UNKNOWN results ... That is not insignificant ... Adrian Shine is a wonderful man who gave his utmost with what he had to work with. Today we have drones, aerial balloons , that can stay aloft and hover over anything interesting . night vision , Maybe get a overhead shot ... However it is probably not there at Loch Ness. The life form people claim to see was very successful and nature has a way to reward success . No dinosaurs, just a evolving copy type because it was so good at adapting ... At any rate I would not be going diving at Loch Ness... Survival has a way of voting...
Let's find out for sure. Nonbelievers take the midnight swim across the Lock . After hours of offal and blood have been shoveled into the area. Smear your bodies with offal... If your foot hits something in the middle of the Lock, intense screaming is encouraged...
Love Nessie whether it’s real or not. Adrian is a great guy and knows his stuff. And always a good sport about the monster
Intelligent, capable, well thought out, brillant, believable, overruled we want our monster...
Adrian Shine……champion of Loch Ness.

A really interesting talk. Would have been even better if we could see the slides.

It’s to shallow. There is a rocky you can walk across at times of year.

Help us, Gandalf! Tell Nessia it cannot pass.
Gee it sounds like nothing is there .

Nothing would happen. They tried chumming decades ago
