blogfish: The joy of cooking lionfish

 

A great little post/link over on one of our favorite sites, Blogfish… It really catches you off guard when diving in the Caribbean - every dive outfit is on board asking you to tag where you spot lionfish, while some actually arrange lionfish hunting dive trips. These beautiful buggers wreak havoc on a coral reef ecosystem, so if it’s tasty… Hey Bonefish Grill, serve us up some Lionfish!

“Lionfish look scary, and theyre nasty invaders that are taking over where they dont belong. So, lets fire up the overfishing machine that has done such a good job of threatening some old favorites like Atlantic halibut and Atlantic cod.”

Pictured: One Sea Turtle’s Worth of Plastic | Wired Science | Wired.com

 

 

“Joining the Laysan albatross as icons of ocean plastic pollution are sea turtles, which consume bellyfuls of debris while swimming through Earth’s five great ocean garbage patches.

Pictured above (at left) are the stomach contents of a juvenile sea turtle accidentally captured off the coast of Argentina. The image echoes famous photographs taken by Chris Jordan and Susan Middleton of decomposing albatrosses on the island of Midway.”

Oil Slick Threatens to Exterminate Penguins – EcoLocalizer

 

 

A huge oil slick in the Southern Atlantic is threatening to wipe out the world’s largest colony of the endangered Northern Rockhopper penguin and other rare species, including the Speckled petrel.

The slick was caused last week when the oil tanker the MS Oliva ran into Nightingale Island, part of the Tristan da Cunha archipelago and a World Heritage Site. The tanker has since broken in two and the slick has completely surrounded Nightingale and Inaccessible Islands, both of which are of international wildlife importance.
