Today, we tumbled along, taking a look at:
–a cool (heh-heh) yet disturbing NOAA animation depicting the record Arctic Ocean ice melt this year.
—an undersea sculpture garden, designed to distract coral-damaging human snorkelers from a beautiful nearby natural reef.
–the unfortunate collapse of a joint US-New Zealand plan for a huge Ross Sea maritime sanctuary, over fishing revenues.
–and a (mildly) compensating Australian rejection of a supertrawler hoping to fish Australian waters.
Somehow it was a fishy day. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
