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="">

<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>
<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 light of oceans, guess who is the
invasive species? :*)</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="">

Wife got me a copy of "The Sea
Around Us".<br class="">
<br class="">
Two things. One, Amy, Carson
documents some of the impacts of<br

"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="">
