THE REAL PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN : FILM REVIEW
THE REAL PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN is a DVD that was put out in 2005 by A and E TV and there are many films out with the name or similar so... What this film will reveal to you is that pirating in its day was like corporate theft today - people got hired to do it and people got away with it all the time. Pirating was considered fair game. It was considered unfair that Spain got all that gold and stealing gold off a ship was prime activity. Pirates could be hired. Pirates were sometimes female. And some of the most famous pirate characters we hear about today were not hiding out when they were on land. They were celebrated.
You may want to see this film or read on the subject of pirates and women pirates and compare it to what you see in the famous Disney series "Pirates of the Caribbean."

INTRICATE PLANTS CALLED VESCICLES ARE LIKE A MARINE MEALS ON WHEELS
NAMONITOR : MARINE MEALS ON WHEELS full article!
Marine scientists at the National Science Foundation’s Center for Microbial Oceanography have discovered that marine cyanobacteria create tiny “vesicles” of carbon and nutrients that act as a food source for ocean life. This is in addition to themselves being the tiny plant life that forms the very foundations of the oceanic food chain. They are very busy little bees, only they are plants, and not bees.
Vesicles themselves are not news, having been observed in human-related bacteria since the 1960s. However, this study marks the first instance of their observation in ocean life, adding a new wrinkle to scientists’ understanding of these tiny workhorses.

PYTOPLANKTON and ZOOPLANKTON are BIOLOGICAL PUMPS OF THE OCEAN
AMAGEST : NEW STUDY FINDS HOW OCEANS ABSORB CARBON DIOXIDE
Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, analyzed data of ocean life and observed how the organic matters are used in producing carbon dioxide inside water.
Director of the Earth Research Institute at University of California, Oceanographer David Siegel, and his colleagues analyzed the role of excrement from phytoplankton and zooplankton.
Pytoplankton and zooplankton are tiny little animals placed at the bottom of the food chain.
The new study is published in the Global Biogeochemical Cycles journal titled as “Global assessment of ocean carbon export by combining satellite observations and food-web models.”
Researchers say the biological pump of the ocean export organic carbon into the deep ocean from the upper part through sinking particulate matter and mostly from the zooplankton feces and aggregates of algae.

UN COURT ORDERS JAPAN TO STOP ANTARTIC WHALE HUNTING
CBS NEWS JAPAN ORDERED TO HAULT ANNUAL ANTARTIC WHALE HUNT link to video:
March 31, 2014, 6:49 PM|
The UN’s highest court has ordered Japan to stop its annual whale hunt in the Antarctic, ruling that the research produced didn’t justify the number of animals killed. Japan is one of the few countries to practice whaling. Seth Doane reports.
PBS : ON UN COURT ORDER plus video and text
"Japan has killed as many as 3,600 minke whales and issued permits for hunting humpback and fin whales within the Whale Sanctuary since the issuing of the JARPA II permits in 2005, The New York Times reports. The U.N. found that not only does Japan lack significant scientific results from their purported studies, but the evidence suggests that Japan has been exploiting the whales for other reasons. The U.N. has determined that Japan has breached its obligations under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling...."
