Hello! This is Emily, the blog-maintainer while Jon and Suki are away from Internet. I do post the blogs (as you read them, here) which they send over SSB as text files, but, since they can't access the internet for photos, links, news, etc. they have asked me also to post any interesting ocean- and conservation-related links, videos, and articles I find...
This caught my eye, today:
The Ocean is Broken -- an article by Greg Ray
Excerpt:
"What was missing was the cries of the seabirds which, on all previous similar voyages, had surrounded the boat.
"The birds were missing because the fish were missing."
“We must come down from our heights, and leave our straight paths, for the byways and low places of life, If we would learn truths by strong contrasts; and in hovels, in forecastles, and among our own outcasts in foreign lands, see what has been wrought upon our fellow-creatures by accident, hardship, or strife.” Richard Dana
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Emily, for all your good work.
