Marinelife. Here's a short opinion piece on plastics and marinelife. Tags: oceans marinelife environment plastic. First of all, it's gross (find your own planet to dump your trash on), but it's also dangerous for animals. And who ingests them?
So far, we're not seeing the large-scale impact of this oil spill on marinelife. Scientists fear the oil will make it difficult for marine animals to obtain the oxygen they need to survive. Tags: oil drilling marinelifemarine animals 2010 oil spill. But there are concerns out there.
The use of sonar is controversial because of its harmful effects on marinelife such as whales. Meanwhile, the Navy is also asking NMFS to allow incidental harm and fatalities to marine mammals from training exercises in a 122,400-square-mile section of the Pacific Ocean off the Northwest coast.
It's the same problem with marinelife. Tags: marinelifemarine animals endangered species. It's easier to motivate people to save them as opposed to other species that are vital, but either boring or ugly. People want to save the dolphins and the sea otters, but what about the bluefin tuna?
Scientists studying the massive BP oil spill fear a decades-long, “cascading” effect on marinelife that could lead to a shift in the overall biological network in the Gulf of Mexico. Tags: marinelife 2010 oil spill pollution Gulf of Mexico. It's the "gift" that keeps on giving. From the Khaleej Times Online/AFP.
These nutrient-rich currents provide sustenance for a variety of marine-life, including the many thousand of seabirds that call this place home. There are numerous factors that make Isla Isabel such a diverse and phenomenal wildlife destination. Firstly, several ocean currents meet in the waters surrounding the volcanic outcrop.
On a visit yesterday after work to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn I happened across this female Red-breasted Merganser that I initially thought was in the midst of struggling to swallow a nasty chunk of some kind of marinelife. In fact, the snack appeared to have gotten somehow stuck to or tangled around the bird’s bill.
Humans are already responsible for marine animal habitat loss and overhunting. Marine animals are getting cancer as an indirect result of our pollution of the oceans. Tags: oceans marinelife pollution. We are now responsible for another problem.disease.
What makes Bean Hollow stand out is that along with a rather pebbly beach, it also has some wonderful tide pools full of very accessible marinelife. There are many beautiful beaches along the San Mateo County coast. As for birds, well, I wasn’t paying much attention back then.
Lost sea life and a bleak future for the oceans. Tags: oceans corporate lies marinelife fishing. Big companies using little guys to do their dirty work for them, but the end result is the same.
They are now protected by Taputeranga Marine Reserve , a marine reserve created in 2008 and to protect marinelife around Wellington. I’ve spoken before about the positive impacts marine reserves are having around New Zealand, so it is nice to have one around here.
Just offshore is the Kaikoura Canyon, a marine crevasse that means you can quickly pass over water that is a thousand metres deep. This makes the waters massively productive, which attracts fishermen and marinelife close to the shore, where it can be watched without hours spent reaching the continental shelf.
That last bit of knowledge was shared by a pilot with a gift for understatement. The Dry Tortugas National Park , seven bits of lands comprised of coral and sand, is home to seven nesting avian species, 40 winter visitors, and 250+ fly-through bird species during spring and fall migrations.
In this week's podcast ending January 2, 2010: **The USDA and National Institutes of Health find animal welfare violations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; **the Catalan Parliament in Spain finally votes to ban bullfighting in the region; **the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, CA has a record year for marinelife suffering from illness (..)
I understand that they are trying to encourage people to eat fish and other marinelife that are not part of a collapsing fishery. I was reading Ocean Conservancy's magazine today. For the past couple of issues I've read, it has had a "sustainable seafood recipe." The purpose is to protect ocean species as a whole.
Altering the ocean’s chemistry alters the way marinelife reproduces and develops; for example, a young marine snail simply cannot develop a shell in conditions that are too acidic, and will die. This has repercussions across the food web.
They’ve had to earn degrees in economics and sociology to learn to marry their causes with the human one – explaining, for instance, that humans depend on bats to pollinate or on coral reefs to support other marinelife that is advantageous to mankind.
It is popular with surfers for its great waves and divers fro its profusion of marinelife. The Great Astrolabe Reef is an internationally famous barrier reef that runs along the length of Kadavu.
We should see a variety of marinelife and even if the sightings are slow we will definitely have lots of Northern Gannets (like in the picture at the top of this post) which should be seen from a boat to be properly appreciated. I watched this Bald Eagle catch and eat a Blue-winged Teal at Viera a couple of years ago.
I love that area and the diversity of avian and marinelife that comes through during the year. If I were forced to pick one place it would be the east end of Long Island, and the woods, marshes and ocean around our home in Northwest Harbor.
The book says nothing about photographing marinelife; I highly recommend it.). It also helped me identify a totally unexpected bird, Buller’s Shearwater. This is also where a photograph came in very handy.

It's just another sign of the garbage we throw into the oceans. There was also some plastic and pieces of rope, but there's no determination of what may have actually killed it. It was not emaciated so it's still a mystery as to whether what it consumed played a factor in its death. Full story here in Washington Post.
Well, it's still historic and precedent-setting. Here's hoping we see more of these legal challenges. Full story posted on Global Animal and from the Huffington Post. Do whales deserve constitutional protection against slavery?
