The Next Step: Reserves

I would first like to start out by saying that I agree with Osha about how scientists do speak in jargon and half the time nobody knows what they are saying. I experienced this myself while reading this chapter. Its no wonder that the common citizen doesn’t want to help save the reefs, it’s because they don’t understand what is being said and what exactly is going on in the reefs that need to be saved. If you want to get the average person to help or abide with the… Continue

The Inseparable Braid

Chapter 11 was a big eye opener for me because I never knew exactly what was going on when the reefs were being disintegrated and destroyed by humans. Blast fishing, holding pens, and cyanide are all used to deplete the reef and I had no idea… Continue

Bad Perceptions and Misunderstandings

Chapter 10 was a good introductory chapter for the Human/Nature part of the book. This chapter really puts me in my place when it comes to being terrestrial and just plain absent-minded. I have never been a proactive environmentalist or even worried about the reef because it doesn’t affect me. I know that sounds extremely selfish but I’m one of those people who has to see it to believe it and by time I see anything that would result from the destroying of the reefs it would be too late. I believ… Continue

Who said turtles can't cry?

I guess I never really understood the ways of turtles or why some people loved to have them as pets. My cousins used to raise turtles and one day they convinced me that I had to have one. So what did I do? I brought one home of course. After a few weeks of a continuous bore fest I threw the turtle into a creek that was close to my house. This story was the first thing that came to mind when I read the word "turtle" but it got me to thinking, "Do all kinds of turtles mate and lay eggs the same wa… Continue

A Song of Love and Death

Something that is really inspiring to reef enthusiast everywhere is how a young man not even out of college could make such a great discovery about the reproductive habits of coral. Jamie Oliver did just that even if everybody was against their theory. Jamie and his team pressed on to find exactly what they were looking for. "Finally, in the spring of 1981, the group placed several corals in a large aquarium and waited for spawning. They were like nervous fathers in a hospital waiting room." (Da… Continue

Antarctica Glacier Retreat Creates New Carbon Dioxide Store; Has Beneficial Impact On Climate Change

Large blooms of tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are flourishing in areas of open water left exposed by the recent and rapid melting of ice shelves and glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula. This remarkable colonization is having a beneficial impact on climate change. As the blooms die back phytoplankton sinks to the sea-bed where it can store carbon for thousands or millions of years.

Why Do Animals, Especially Males, Have So Many Different Colors?

Why do so many animal species -- including fish, birds and insects -- display such rich diversity in coloration and other traits? New research offers an answer.

Bizarre Lives Of Bone-eating Worms

Female Osedax marine worms feast on submerged bones via a complex relationship with symbiotic bacteria, and they are turning out to be far more diverse and widespread than scientists expected. Californian researchers have found that up to twelve further distinct evolutionary lineages exist beyond the five species already described. The new findings about these beautiful sea creatures with unusual sexual and digestive habits are published in a new study.

Seafloor Fossils Provide Clues To Climate Change

Deep under the sea, a fossil the size of a sand grain is nestled among a billion of its closest dead relatives. Known as foraminifera, these complex little shells of calcium carbonate can tell you the sea level, temperature, and ocean conditions of Earth millions of years ago. That is, if you know what to look for.

Boosting Coastal Economics With Crustacean Molting On Demand

Researchers are close to unraveling intricate cellular pathways that control molting in blue crabs. The discoveries could revolutionize the soft-shell crab industry, generating new jobs and additional profits for the US fishing industry along the coastal Southeast.
