Please vote for
Tubbataha Reef

There
is a vote going on for the NEw 7 Wonders of the World. Tubbataha Reef
is on the list and is ranked number 8 at the moment.

I have a particular fondness for the Philippines and would really like
to see Tubbataha get into the top 7. But that aside, Tubbataha is a
very important ecosystem as is contains so many species and it may be
that if Tubbataha can get the recognition then it would become a World
Heritage site.

I think this is a worthy goal and I know that the Philippines conservation effort could certainly use all the help it can get.

Please, please, please everyone, go click on this link and vote for
Tubbataha. You can nominate and vote for other sites around the world
as well but I would be our best bud for life if you vote for Tubbataha.

Thanks folks.
Graeme.

As divers, we have a unique opportunity to see and experience
directly the changes affecting the natural world around us. Most urban
dwellers rarely or never have the opportunity to immerse themselves in
the great outdoors. Divers, however, go to great lengths to travel to
far-flung, remote places and literally plunge ourselves into the wild.
One of the things many divers begin to notice over time is the effect our own actions have on the environment.

If we lose control of our buoyancy and crash into a coral head,
we risk damaging it and destroying years of coral growth. If we dump
plastic bags into the ocean, we risk choking turtles or other marine
organisms to death. If we litter on the beach or an island, we may ruin
an idyllic getaway.
Our impact on the world isn't limited just to obvious actions like these however.

Many of the things we choose to do while we're safe and snug in
our home surroundings make an enormous difference to the world around
us -- including the oceans. Some examples include our choice of foods,
our choice of consumer products, our collective urban development and
so forth.
Divers are privileged in the sense that we're better able to
see the actual and potential effects of our own habits on the
environment, and consequently, we're natural ambassadors for the world
around us.

China's Rare River Dolphin Now Extinct, Experts Announce: May 7, 6:55pm 2 reviews animals

"China's Rare River Dolphin Now Extinct, Experts Announce"

Qi Qi, a rare Chinese river dolphin, was rescued from the Yangtze River in 1980 and lived in Wuhan Baiji Aquarium, until she died in 2002. A recent six-week search on the Yangtze failed to find any trace of the endangered dolphin species, leading scientists to announce that the animal is "functionally extinct."

The rare Chinese river dolphin has gone extinct, according to scientists who could not find a single one of the animals during a six-week search on China's Yangtze River.

The small, nearly blind white dolphin, also known as the baiji, was nicknamed "the goddess of the Yangtze."

The delicate dolphin, which dates back 20 million years, was found only in China's longest river, the Yangtze.

If Pfluger's team is correct, the baiji will be the first large aquatic mammal to have gone extinct since hunting and overfishing killed off the Caribbean monk seal in the 1950s.

It's really hard being a Merperson in today's underwater ocean
world. Destructive trawling destroys merpeople's homes, overfishing
steals merpeople's friends, and mercury contamination, well, let's just
say it makes it hard to think clearly about all the other problems.Right now, one of the biggest problems is dating. Mermen and Merwomen are finding there's just no fish left in the sea. With that, Oceana and Save the Merpeople bring you The Merbachelorette. She swam ashore in New York to tell our crew about her experiences in underwater dating. Help us, help her. Save the merpeople.

Massive Water Park in Arizona Desert

WaveYard is the name of a new water based community / playland which, of course, is to be located... in the desert.Yep. Some geniuses were sitting around, possibly enjoying some hashish,
when one said something like "Hey dude. I've got an idea... Let's build
the biggest water mega-park the world has ever seen! Oh, and we'll do
it in the desert!"If constructed, the park would use as much as 100 million gallons of groundwater a year.
