During class, we began to talk about seaweed. When Mr. Nash asked if we knew what it felt like, I hadn't, because I'd never really seen seaweed in real life. I've been to an ocean and all, but never been to a spot that wasn't a beach where tons of...

The thing that he meant about it not existing, is that it only looks like it is inverted, but in reality, is not. This is because when you would go to the coral reef, the first thing you see, is a TON of fish, and nothing else around. Usually fish...

I found that the tide pools were cool too. I especially liked the giant ones that made the mortar and pestle. It was cool to think of how those were naturally occuring and the water used the rocks to destroy the sides and make the areas bigger ove...

I take my comment about the baby smooth lumpsucker being the most awesome thing ever. This is the coolest thing ever by far.

This has got to be the coolest thing ever.

In my opinion, this is kind of cool. Yes, it is disgusting, but has an awe factor. It is strange about, why does it go for the tongue first? And that is a huge parasite for how big the fish is.

I think adding something more is a good thing. Though the comic isn't a problem. Perhaps it is a good memoir.

So is that a "should add more about chapter 3" or "should get rid of the comic even though it was their way before the deletion of Corvette's blog" or both?
August 20
I agree. I even agree that the comic making fun of the situation is funny in and of itself. However, the original vid was just way too much for a school site. ;)
August 20
I will add more on the part about Chapter 3 if you want. And even if necessary delete the comic, because it does have little point. It was just funny to add onto it.

The Enraptured Weaving

I don’t want you to think that all I’m going to do is complain, but one thing I have to say is that as I read this, I couldn’t help but space off. It was full of thousands of facts that just bore me out of my mind at points. To me, this seemed strange, because I’m the kind of person who loves to learn things. The more I learn, the more intrigued I get, or at least that’s how it normally is.

Maybe, it’s that I really have no connection to this book yet, other than the fact that I am in a Marine… Continue

Slideshow

I just recently finished up my slideshow on my computer and it's pretty beastly . . . no lie, but I just realized upon uploading it to slideshare.net that Slideshare doesn't do any of the click for the next group or timing effects. This is bothering me, because one of the reasons my slide is so beastly is because of a huge timing related thing that took me forever to do. Warning: It's also kind of nerdy, but I like it, thereby making me a nerd.

Here's what it's like on Slideshare [Another warni… Continue

thanks for that on the supralittoral/littoral thing. I guess I should have had my notes in front of me when I wrote that. I had in a big box that said LITTORAL and not supralittoral. And since I did get that wrong on here I probably got that stuck...

I thought last weeks discussion was very interesting. The thing that amazed me were the atolls and how they were formed. I realized that these atolls were old volcanoes that were islands, but the coral grew around the volcano, causing it to sink f...

yes, and yes... and also simply trap it within a structure they can close. think: mollusks.

I understand now. That helps.

To an extent. Does this mean they find water to make gills efficient, or does it mean they produce a saliva or water based substance to clear up their needs?

Whoa. That's sick to think algae is in all those common everyday things Americans eat. Didn't he also say it was in gum. Or am I totally making that up? I'll have to check up on that.

You did an awesome job looking up all those definitions. I'm a visual learner too, so when I was making my post. I opened up my Marine Biology book. I have to see it in person, or in pictures to understand something. One thing I think we all didn'...

Also, I have a quick question. In this picture, is this considered a tide pool? I am confused because it is not in an enclosed pool but it still has to go through the different levels of high-tide and low-tide.

So I love chocolate milk and pudding so this is a cool way to connect the ocean and the foods we eat to people like me who are not to much of sea food fans. I never would have guessed but i would have never really thought about it either.

Hey this is what mine is about. There are the four different levels and that pretty much determines how much sun and water each are exposed to, i think.

Remember... the trophic pyramid is real. It is just that above coral reefs... it seems to be "inverted." Of course, this cannot be. There is simply no way to consume more than is produced. Thus, we spoke of the trophic pyramid on a coral reef as b...

Global study of salmon shows: 'Sustainable' food isn't so sustainable

Popular thinking about how to improve food systems often misses the point, according to the results of a three-year global study of salmon production systems. Rather than pushing for organic or land-based production, or worrying about simple metrics such as "food miles," the study finds that the world can achieve greater environmental benefits by focusing on improvements production and distribution.

Penguins and sea lions help produce new atlas

Recording hundreds of thousands of individual uplinks from satellite transmitters fitted on penguins, albatrosses, sea lions, and other marine animals, conservation scientists have released the first-ever atlas of the Patagonian Sea -- a globally important but poorly understood South American marine ecosystem.

Marine ecosystems get a climate form guide

The first-ever Australian benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adaptation is being released. The Marine Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Report Card for Australia, and an accompanying website, will provide a biennial guide for scientists, government and the community on observed and projected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.

Fish food fight: Fish don't eat trees after all, says new study

Recent theories suggesting that half of fishes' food comes from from land-based ecosystems may not hold water. Experiments show that algae, not land-based matter, is needed to build healthy and fertile aquatic organisms.

California's ancient kelp forest

The kelp forests off southern California are considered to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet a new study indicates that today's kelp beds are less extensive and lush than those in the recent past.
