YOU EAT FISH? ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING TO THE EXTINCTION OF SPECIES?
According to SEAFOOD FOR THE FUTURE ORG, which is part of the nonprofit, AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/seafoodfuture THE WORLD HUMAN POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED 9.5 BILLION by 2050. Seafood is among the healthiest sources of protein on the planet. Wild capture seafood harvests have LEVELED OFF and CANNOT MEAN THE DEMAND.... More than # BILLION people on the planet DEPEND ON SEAFOOD as their primary source of protein...
and WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY and SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE to PRODUCE
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE FARMED FISH.
It's called AQUACULTURE!
Go to this link and read about eating jelly fish, and the smallest porpoise on earth that is about to go extinct...the VAQUITA.
Fishing practices DO effect all ocean life.

SEVERAL PUZZLES ON THE SHARK THEME COMING UP
Dover Publishing is the source of many of the sea-life and oceanic images that you see here on SIRENS LINK TO SEA BlogSpot. These images are free to use provided that your use is NOT FOR PROFIT. Coming up are several puzzles surrounding SHARKS.
We recently went to the AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC in Long Beach California, which is a non profit, and a place that has large and impressive tanks. Let's just say that if you are not one to travel and go snorkeling or scuba diving, an aquarium like this is your only opportunity to see what it's like to be under the ocean with the coral, starfish, octopus, lobsters, and so very many fish - including SHARKS look like, and there are also places where you can safely TOUCH the animals.

AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA IS A MUST SEE!
AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC ORG check the site out even if you don't think you can make it to Long Beach any time soon.
DID YOU KNOW THIS AQUARIUM HAS A HOSPITAL?
"The Aquarium’s veterinary hospital features advanced digital equipment. With an Eklin digital radiography system, x-ray film does not need processing and images are easily stored for diagnostic and record-keeping purposes. This equipment also speeds up the entire process of taking x-rays, which is better for the animals. A high-tech microscope with a camera imaging system can take pictures of slides. Just as with the x-ray machine, this microscope allows images to be e-mailed to colleagues. Endoscopy and laparoscopy equipment provide opportunities to perform minimally invasive techniques and view the patient internally with a camera."
