Cold, Dark and Teeming With Life - "scientists have identified roughly one hundred sites in the gulf where cold-seep communities of clams, mussels and tube worms flourish in the sunless depths. And they have accumulated evidence of many more — hundreds by some estimates, thousands by others — most especially in the gulf's deep, unexplored waters."
» Debate Over Whale Hunt Focuses On Japan - "A showdown is expected this week among pro- and anti-whaling nations at a meeting opening Monday in Morocco.... Japan has consistently argued that whaling is a treasured part of its national culture" [but the truth is that] "The desperate, immediate postwar period is the only time in Japanese history when whale meat was consumed nationwide."

By comparison, the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 dumped an estimated 10.8 million gallons of oil into the waters off Alaska."
» "A government panel raised its estimate of the flow rate from BP's damaged well yet again on Tuesday, declaring that as much as 60,000 barrels a day could be gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill was already categorized as the largest in the nation's history, and the new figures sharply increase previous estimates, suggesting a flow equal to an Exxon Valdez — every four days."

» We cannot let commercial whaling happen... again...
"With a decision on a proposal that will lift the ban on commercial whaling for the next ten years only a few weeks away, and the members of the European Union still struggling to find a common position concerning a practice which is strictly prohibited by law within European Union waters, leading European actor, Mario Adorf has added his voice to the anti-whaling movement by narrating a moving campaign film on behalf of WDCS.
WDCS has launched 'Jenny', a new 90 seconds short film designed to wake decision makers from their current state of inactivity and to call on the wider public to act against the lifting of the whaling ban when the International Whaling Commission meets to make its decision in Morocco this June."

Professionals in marine science are an important part of the MarineBio community. MarineBio's resources provide a convenient clearinghouse of information and links to academic resources including: Relevant journals | Reference books | Online research tools (databases etc.) | Worldwide marine conservation organizations | Aquariums around the world | The Plankton Forums | Marine life hourly news...
The ocean is our earth's greatest natural resource. It is the place of origin for most life forms. Millions of people rely on the ocean for survival. Twelve million fishermen operate three million vessels landing around 90 million tons of fish each year, providing work for over 200 million people worldwide.
More than 60% of the global population live within 60 km of the coast. The ocean provides the majority of our oxygen and the rain itself. The ocean buffers the weather and helps regulate global temperature and manages vast amounts of pollutants. More than 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide are absorbed by the ocean every year.
It is home to some of the most amazing creatures on earth—80% of the world's biodiversity lives in the sea and there is still much to be discovered. At least 100 million unnamed species live on the ocean floor alone. Thousands of pharmaceutical compounds have been isolated from marine animals and plants. The cures for HIV/AIDs, cancer, malaria, tuberculosis and leukemia, etc. could lie beneath the waves. The ocean is in our backyard, yet more is known about the Moon. We are just now beginning to understand the ocean and with that understanding comes the increasing realization that the ocean is in deep trouble. Marine conservation efforts so far are simply overwhelmed by the number and scale of the problems the ocean faces.
Coral reefs and climate change, a message for Copenhagen from Earth Touch.
Please learn more about the ocean, its life, the problems it faces, and what you can do today to help protect and restore it, for everyone.
