It's your world. Are you strong enough?

BANKRUPT OCEANS! We now need new fishing laws that let fish stocks recover, favour sustainable fishing, prevent fish being wasted, maintain fishing fleets at levels fisheries can support, and end harmful subsidies, otherwise there’s no more fish and chips, AND WE LOVE FISH AND CHIPS. It’s a crucial time for Europe’s fisheries…get on aboard with this campaign to push EU ministers http://allaboard.panda.org/

WOW!!! The natural world surely does rock!!! Check out this awesome photograph of the largest jellyfish in the world! Jellyfish have drifted along on ocean currents for millions of years, even before dinosaurs lived on the Earth. Source of photo unknown. For more cool jellyfish facts check out http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/jellyfish/

WOW what a wonderful way to recycle, just look at this amazing plastic bottles installation/sculpture at Botafogo Beach, in Río de Janeiro, Brazil, such a clever and attractive way to encourage us to RISE ABOVE PLASTIC!

WOW!!! This will give you an idea of just how deep James Cameron went on his dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench…amazing!

Squeezed into a submersible as futuristic as anything in his movies, James Cameron intends to descend solo to the ocean‘s deepest point within weeks, we think he might spot the Carbon Cowboy down there… As with spaceships, deep-sea submersibles must be engineered to accommodate innumerable challenges, including dramatic changes in pressure and temperature and a total absence of sunlight. In the process of meeting these challenges, the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible engineering team has made historic breakthroughs in materials science, incorporated unique approaches to structural engineering, and innovated new ways of imaging through an ultra small stereoscopic camera capable of withstanding the pressure at full ocean depth. The DEEPSEA CHALLENGER will stay on the sea floor for an estimated six hours—dramatically longer than the 20 minutes …

Did you know? Whale Milk is 50% Fat. We think Whales are just amazing! Save the Whales is an organisation who’s purpose is to educate children and adults about marine mammals, their environment and their preservation http://www.savethewhales.org/

Want to know a few shark facts to dazzle your friends this weekend? In some form sharks have been around for about 400 million years. Even before dinosaurs roamed the earth sharks hunted through the oceans!  They’re such good survivors that they’ve had little need to evolve in the last 150 million years. Sharks belong to the class of fish, Chondrichthyes.

OK we are on a bit of a sea theme at the moment because we think our blue planet gets a bit of a rough deal. So we came across this wonderful poster about uncontrolled waste and the threat to our seas and just couldn’t wait to share it with you…who needs enemies like the Carbon Cowboy and Maximatosis when we do things like this to our own planet?
