SUNKEN CITIES PROVE THAT PAST EARTH CHANGES INCLUDED A RISE IN SEA WATER LEVELS
Although I haven't covered this subject here at SIREN'S LINK TO SEA, it's part of our exploration of earth changes - climate and the oceans, the possible rise of sea levels.
DAILY MAIL SCIENCE : SCIENTISTS STUDY 7000 YEAR OLD CITY Excellent photos too!
Excerpts: The city, known as Soline, was built on an artificial landmass by the ancient Hvar culture - but began to slowly sink off the coast of what is now Croatia as sea levels rose with the melting glaciers of the last Ice Age, starting around 12,000 BC.
...
Past explorations of its waters have dredged up Roman artifacts, a 2,200 year old shipwreck and another Hvar settlement in nearby Gradina Bay, 15feet below sea level and 'almost identical to the Soline settlement," according to the University of Zadar.
...
Their future work over the next few years will map both the Adriatic and North Sea, as they were between 10,000 and 24,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were around 300 feet lower than they are today.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO BE AN OCEAN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST?
It's my hope that when a reader finds SIRENS LINK TO SEA, that person will find something - or everything interesting. My blog is an opportunity for you to gain knowledge about our ocean environment - still so full of mysteries - and to think about what you may be able to do in order to show respect for our beaches, waters, and all the creatures who live in the ocean environment.
To me, this is far more important than going to Mars. We must take good care of this planet we live on. We are part of the life and death of it.
Perhaps for you it's as simple as being part of a beach cleanup or to do more to recycle or ending your use of plastic bottled water. Or perhaps you'll join a group of activists who rally for the marine animals who face extinction or study to become an oceanographer or marine biologist. You may take part of a whale count during migration times or talk in front of a class about tides and sea shells. Maybe you'll become a deep sea diver or go on to study Antarctica.
If SIRENS LINK TO SEA INSPIRES YOU IN ANY WAY, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT!
