SALMON and RIVERENE FISH - DAM DEMOLITIONS LEADS TO NATURAL HABITATS

LA TIMES : LARGE DAMS TO BE DEMOLISH - A VICTORY FOR FISH 

Excerpt: If it goes forward, the deal would revive plants to remove four massive hydroelectric dams on the lower Klamath River, emptying giant reservoirs and reopening potential fish habitation that's been blocked for more than a century.  The massive project would be at the vanguard of a trend toward dam demotions in the U.S. as the structures age and become less economically viable amid growing environmental concerns about the health of native fish.

AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST MASS STRANDING - PILOT WHALES - 500 ESTIMATE OFF TASMANIA

This happened several weeks ago.  Rescuers tried to save the pilot whales. The bodies of dead whales present a problem for the harbor. 

Excerpt: "Unfortunately, they do have a very strong social system, and these animals are very closely bonded.  And that's why we have seen so many in this case unfortunately end up in this situation," Pirotta said. 

And even when a whale is freed, its fate remains in jeopardy.

"They are wanting to return back to the pod. They might hear the acoustics of the vocalizations of the sounds that the others are making, or they're just disoriented and in this case extremely stressed and just probably so fatigued that they in some cases don't know where they are," she said.

HYDROPHONE CATCHES BLUE WHALES SWITCHING FROM NIGHT SINGING TO DAY SINGING

SCIENCE DAILY : BLUE WHALES SWITCH NIGHT SINGING TO DAY 

Excerpt: By focusing on the whale song wavelengths in the hydrophone data, the researchers noticed a distinct change over several months.  Through the summers, the whale arias grew louder and were sung mostly at nighttime.  Over the five years of data, the whale chorus was loudest around October and November, and singing happened more at nighttime. Following each annual peak in song activity, as the whales began to depart for warmer waters, singing because more of a daytime activity.

HELLO FROM SIREN

I'm just posting a HELLO today, to my old and new readers. HELLO, H E L L O, HELLO!

To be honest, I've felt like I should just keep my mermaid tale on and go swimming around the Internet today, but under some warm covers. I'm searching for stories you will be excited by, stories about the sea, sailing, surfing, fishing.  Stories about the creatures of the shoreline and the deep.

UP-CYCLING SHIPPING ENVELOPES - BE ECOLOGY SENSITIVE AND REUSE THE PLASTIC BUBBLE WRAP TYPE ENVELOPE

My ecology-sensitive friends are often trying to reuse items - such as packaging and bottles at least one more time to avoid throwing things into the trash after use and - let's face it - to economize.

I want to share what I do with envelopes that come to the house via shippers such as Amazon Prime. These envelopes are often made of plastic and have a version of bubble wrap inside them. I try to buy things local and don't often order on line but my friends do.

Here are some ideas.

Use the envelopes to organize other things such as paper, envelopes, cut outs, fabric samples and so on.  You can cut them and place them in another box with the open side up.

Use the envelopes to line and add padding to boxes that need a little insulation, such as Christmas ornaments.

Cut them into strips to pad boxes you are sending. You can cut them open to lay down a bottom layer and add a top layer before you put on the lid.

Are you transporting a hot meal?  Slip it into one of the envelopes to keep it warm longer.

Cut the envelope open and put it down in your car floor as a matt to protect your carpet from dirty shoes.  (I'm not sure about the driver's seat as they are light and can shift around but the passenger seats for sure.

Art projects : You can cut these envelopes up and paint or otherwise decorate them.

Think of more ways to reuse them.  Send me a comment to post.

RARE BLUE EYED PINK GINGER ALBINO SEAL MAY BE REJECTED BY COLONY

DAILY MAIL : UGLY DUCKING SEAL - REJECTION -

He's "ginger" and proof of a rare genetics in seals.

EXCERPT:  Biologist Vladimir Burkanov says that so far this fur seal on Tyuleny Island - nicknamed The Ugly Ducking - has not become a total outcast,yet there are signs of it being slightly shunned.

"The pup looks well fed and was very active, so its mother clearly gave it plenty of milk," he said.

THE BEACH SCENE : IS IT A HAZARD TO GO DUE TO CORONA-19 ?

This past weekend, the beaches were a destination for so very many people.  I and a friend just drove on a road past them.  Because of the fires the air was bad and the sky was gray and so appeared the water.  The air was so thick with particulates that it blocked the sun.  I felt nauseated.  And so, basically, it was not a happy trip.  Even my dog seems to feel sick.  She's old and I have to be extra careful that she doesn't overheat.  She drank lots of water and she also drooled.

I believe that you can go walking the beach and if the sun is out and the breeze is blowing, and if you only go without a good mask where you are not going to encounter people, then you are probably safer from this horrible virus.

Like you, I wake up days feeling this is all surreal - a bad dream - and I'm so eager to get on with my old life - my normal old life.

LEARN ABOUT GULLS FROM SAVE COASTAL WILDLIFE ORG

SAVE COASTAL WILD LIFE ORG : HAVE WE MISSED THE POINT ABOUT SEAGULLS? by Joseph Reynolds

EXCERPT: Gulls are extraordinary birds.  They are able to fly long distances and glide over the open ocean for hours in search of food.  Gulls can fly as fast as 28 MPH. They can even drink salty ocean water when thirsty  The birds have evolved to have a special pair of glands right above their eyes to flush the salt form their body through openings in their bill.  This enables a gull to spend several days forging for food atop salty ocean waters without needing to return to land just to get a drink of freshwater...

CLOSED BEACHES, STARVING WILDLIFE - MAYBE YOU CAN HELP

I haven't forgotten about you, my dear regular readers.  SIREN'S LINK TO SEA has not forgotten all of you who home-school, or who have a project for school that you're doing some research on.  I haven't forgotten about those of you who like to do art projects.  Or those of you who like mermaids - and pirates.\

But like you, I've had to curb my activities in order to stay more secluded, and that includes not going to the beach.

The beach nearest me has been shut down and I just didn't care to take my chances and go there and encounter people who were not wearing masks, even though the media had so many photos of various celebrities taking that chance.

Hey, I need to get out of the house as much as anyone and I hate wearing a mask, I really do.  I need the sun on my face.  But until we know more, it certainly cannot hurt to wear a mask.

Finally, about a week ago, I went to the beach very early - sort of.  I went to a sea cliff where there's a park.  I had some cheese cracker snacks with me and some of them fell from my bag as I wrangled with my dog.  My dog is also showing signs of being irritable and in need of more adventures.  She was hyper excited because squirrels came running.  We sat on a picnic bench and watched as a pack of crows, a pack of pigeons, and a pack of seagulls fought over these unhealthy snacks.  In a big tree where were dozens of little birds that started to twitter.

I realized that they were all hungry.

BEACH CLOSURES MEANT A LOT LESS GARBAGE - food remains - to pick over.

Now we know that the human food garbage IS NOT HEALTHY FOR WILD CREATURES, but we also know that their populations have become somewhat used to and dependent on this human food garbage as a resource.

A few days later I went back to the beach with some NATURAL and HEALTHIER food options for these creatures, some unsalted seeds and nuts, and also some cut  native plants that have seeds that they eat in nature.  I did not cut these from plants growing in nature, but from native plants growing in a neighbor's garden, which needed to be cut back. I did a little research on this. You should to, learning what is native in your locality.

I threw a branch of a native California plant with seed pods over a fence and watched as a squirrel advanced through the underbrush and started to eat the pods with great enthusiasm.  I walked away and there were squeals.  I thought maybe the squirrels had been alerted that some new food had arrived.

A neighbor who had a lot of sunflowers in her garden gave me some of the seed-filled heads and I took those and placed them here and there.  I walked around for about a half hour, making a loop.  I don't know which creature dragged those sunflower heads, heavy as they were, somewhere else to feed, but they were all gone in about fifteen minutes.

Please consider, when you go to the beach, taking some edibles with you to feed the wild creatures who live there, as natural as you can find or afford.

NOT TOO LATE TO SAVE THE OCEAN?

DAILY MAIL : IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO SAVE THE OCEANS BY 2050 by Jonathan Chadwick

Excerpt: Although humans have greatly altered sea life to its detriment in the past, the researchers found evidence of the remarkable resilience of marine life.

This include particularly spectacular cases of recovery7, such as the humpback whale, which was brought to the brink of extinction in the 1960's, with just a few hundred surviving in the wild, a result of commercial whaling.

'We have an opportunity to listen - and that opportunity to listen will not appear again in our lifetime.'

The last time that the oceans fell quiet was in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, when a reduction in shipping allowed experts to determine that ship noise is connected to chronic stress in baleen whales.

DNA REGISTRATION TECHNOLOGY and OCEAN GENETIC DIVERSITY

RLN: OCEANS WORTH OF GENETIC DIVERSITY IN A CUP by Hunter Chase

EXCERPT: Pentcheff said that while an average person could take home one of the creatures found on the rope, it would be illegal for him to take it for scientific study. The only reason DISCO was allowed to collect samples was because they had a permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife that lasted for two weeks. It is unusual for the department to grant a permit allowing the collection of so many species, but the educational nature of the project, and the fact that all data will be made publicly available, is a but part of the reason it was granted.

BIOLUMINESCENT ALGAE MAKES SWIMMING DOLPHINS GLOW

DAILY MAIL SCIENCE : SWIMMING DOLPHINS BIOLUMINESCENT GLOW

Excerpt: According to Mr. (Patrick) Coyne, the footage was challenging to film and required the perfect conditions - with bioluminescence being both difficult to spot and inherently short-lived in nature.

The glowing effect, often referred to as 'the fire of the sea', is produced by microscopic, single-celled organisms known as dinoflagellates, specifically those of the species Noctiluca scintillans.

WALT WHITMAN : AS I EBBE'D WITH THE OCEAN LIFE

As I ebb'd with the ocean of life,
As I wended the shores I know,
As I walk'
d where the ripples continually wash you Paumanok,
Where they rustle up hoarse and sibilant,
Where the fierce old mother endlessly cries for her castaways,
I musing late in the autumn day, gazing off southward,
Held by this electric self out of the pride of which I utter poems,
Was seiz'd by the spirit that trails in the lines underfoot,
The rim, the sediment that stands for all the water and all the land of
the globe.

Fascinated, my eyes reverting from the south, dropt, to follow those
slender windrows,
Chaff, straw, splinters of wood, weeds, and the sea-gluten,
Scum, scales from shining rocks, leaves of salt-lettuce, left by the tide,
Miles walking, the sound of breaking waves the other side of me,
Paumanok there and then as I thought the old thought of likenesses,
These you presented to me you fish-shaped island,
As I wended the shores I know,
As I walk;d with that electric self seeking types.

As I went to the shores I know not,
As I list to the dirge, the voices of men and women wreck'd,
As I inhale the impalpable breezes that set in upon me,
As the ocean so mysterious rolls toward me closer and closer,
I too but signify at the utmost a little wash'd-up drift,
A few sands and dead leaves to gather,
Gather, and merge myself as part of the sands and drift.

O bafled, bal'kd, bent to the very earth,
Oppress'd with myself that I have dared to open my mouth,
Aware now that amid all that blab whose echoes recoil upon me I have
not once had the least idea who or what I am,
But that before all my arrogant poems the real Me stands yet untouch'd
untold. altogether unreach'd.
Withdrawn far, mocking me with mock-congratulatory signs and bows,
With peals of distant ironical laughter at every word I have written,
Pointing in silence to these songs, and then to the sand beneath.

I perceive I have not really understood any thing, not a single object
and that no man ever can,
Nature here in sight of the sea taking advantage of me to dart upon me
and sting me,
Because I have dared to open my mouth to sing at all.

You oceans both, I close with you,
We murmur alike reproachfully rolling sands and drift, knowing not why,
These little shreds indeed standing for you and me and all.

You friable shore with trails of debris,
You fish-shaped island, I take what is underfoot,
What is yours is mine my father.

I too Paumanok,
I took have bubbled up, floated the measureless float, and been wash'd
on your shores,
I too am but a trail of drift and debris,
I too leave little wrecks upon you, you fish-shaped island.

I throw myself upon your breast my father,
I cling to you so that you cannot unloose me,
I hold you so firm till you answer me something.

Kiss me my father, 
Touch me with your lips as I touch those I love,
Breathe to me while I hold you close the secret of the murmuring I envy.

Ebb, ocean of life, (the flow will return,)
Cease not your moaning you fierce old mother,
Endlessly cry for your castaways, but fear not, deny not me,
Rustle not up so hoarse and angry against my feet as I touch you or
gather from you.

I mean tenderly by you and all,
I gather for myself and for this phantom looking down where we lead,
and following me and mine.
Me and mine, loose windrows, little corpses,
Froth, snowy white, and bubbles,
(See, from my dead lips the ooze exuding at last,
See, the prismatic colors glistening and rolling,)
Tufts of straw, sands, fragments,
Buoy'd hither from many moods, one contradicting another,
From the storm, the long calm, the darkness, the swell,
Musing, pondering, a breath, a briny tear, a dab of liquid or soil,
Up just as much out of fathomless workings fermented and thrown,
A limp blossom or two, torn, just as much over waves floating, drifted at
random,

Just as much for us that sobbing dirge of Nature,
Just as much whence we come that blare of the cloud-trumpets,
We, capricious, brought hither we know not whence, spread out before
you,
You up there walking or sitting,
Whoever you are, we too lie in drifts at your feet.

It's eaten as a delicacy in Japan... 

EXCERPT:  They are typically found in the Indian and Pacific oceans, the Red Sea, the East Atlantic and the Atlantic waters off West Africa, according to the Atlas of Living Australia.

'Animals that live in open waters are not observed that often unless they are washed on the beach because of strong winds or ocean current,' Mr Uribe-Palomino said.

The scientist ecouraged anyone who finds such a creature to contact the ATLAS OF LIVING AUSTRALIA with their photographs and information about their find.

'Encouraging people to submit information might help researchers to track species distribution and also to find the frequency of observation and seasonality of those animals.' he told Daily Mail Australia.
