Thanks Kathy and all. I will not do the job, but I think it would
be interesting to see a "revised" edition of "Under the Sea" that
shows the original and current state side by side. I suspect it
would be pretty compelling even if extremely depressing.<br class="">

Norris?? (smiley; I know it probably needs an oceanographer).<br class="">

<div class="">Dear Dewey (and all!) - one more sidenote to your
ocean topic -</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Eugenie Clark, a pioneering mid-century
oceanographer, was asked a few years ago before her passing,
about what she thought the biggest change in the oceans has been
- and she simply said “overfishing” - she noted that in the past
50 years, about 50% of ocean life is gone, and she no longer ate
seafood.</div>

<div class="">Microplastics p.s. - a few weeks ago in the Wash.
Post Health/Science section, this topic! and even when you wash
your polartecs & other polyesters, the small strands can add
into the water system (found even in Arctic waters). Yeesh!
Plus, some facial soaps & other personal products - check
the labels esp. if they tout “microabrasion”</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Tying in to lionfish - I saw that a group in FL is
doing “contests” from time to time to see who can spearfish the
most… and restaurants are beginning to offer them on their menus
:*) Raising awareness!</div>

<div class="">One of my past students now does undersea research
for NOAA, and the last time we talked, they were doing
population studies in the Gulf to determine the long-term damage
to nurseries from the Deepwater Horizon incident. Not good.</div>

<div class="">In addition to the nightmarish plastics
problem, overfishing continues to be a huge issue.
And, invasive species cause harm to oceanic
ecosystems as well. The Lionfish in the Atlantic and
Caribbean is one scary example:<br class="">

Two things. One, Amy, Carson documents
some of the impacts of<br class="">
"tourism" on ecological communities.<br class="">
<br class="">
Secondly, she describes oceans teeming
with life that literally makes<br class="">
the surface boil at night. Has there been
a recent work that more or<br class="">
less looks at these same thing today?<br class="">
<br class="">
This book has made me much more aware of
what goes on in the oceans.<br class="">
Easy to see why it was a best seller.<br class="">
