CRAFTING SEA CREATURES ...
I'm going to post some YouTube videos that feature sewing and crochet to create sea creatures by sewing, crocheting, or embroidering.
I think these could be fun to learn to make and would also make good presents...
However, I ask you, when making stuffed animals to use cotton or other NATURAL products for the stuffing - such as cotton or bamboo , as much as possible and to also RECYCLE FABRICS, BUTTONS, and so on from OLD CLOTHING or whatever you already have around in order to make these as ECOLOGY SENSITIVE AS POSSIBLE!
When it comes to PLASTICS in art projects, use what you have but because plastic is a pollution problem and a health problem for all creatures (including us) to find or make some sort of substitute.

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!

LEAVE TIDE POOLS ALONE and TAKE THAT TRASH WITH YOU
Visiting a tide pool recently, I was so upset to see a mother directing her two children to pick sea creatures from between the rocks and put them in plastic buckets. Even if they have some sort of home aquarium set up, these people were ignorant that a TIDE POOL NEEDS TO BE LEFT ALONE. It is an ECOSYSTEM and by removing any creature, they are upsetting that ecosystem.
PLEASE TAKE PHOTOS ONLY when you go to a tide pool!

HELLO and WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG
The reason you have not seen posts here is because Google blocked me from my own long held account, which is used ONLY for this blog and no outside communications, simply because I changed computer use.
Frankly, I have sent Google messages letting them know that they are making using Google a much less than a friendly experience.
I continue to be highly interested in sea life, ocean ecology, and all the subjects I've presented to you here at SIREN'S LINK TO SEA for many years.
Yours,
Siren

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE FILM ABOUT THE SEA? SAILING? SURFING? MERMAIDS? WHALES?
I would like to know what you like and WHY!
Is the film Science Facts or Delicious Fiction?
Please leave a comment!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE GARBAGE TO BREAK DOWN?
Taking your trash home and putting it in the proper container - recycling plastic and aluminum cans is a start - is the easiest and best thing you as a person can do to keep that out of the water.
Take photos or make memories when looking around in low-tide tide pools!
Stop buying plastic junk that breaks - including toys - that end up in our landfills for hundreds of years...

SOLVING DNA OF GREAT WHITE MAY HELP PRESERVE SPECIES
WHOSE YOUR DADDY? GREAT WHITE SHARKS PARENT FOUND link to Fox News article here!
..."Great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) are the biggest meat-eating shark in the world, with some reaching more than 20 feet long and weighing more than 5,000 pounds. They hunt in more of the world's seas than any other sharks, ranging across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, from the cold waters near the Antarctic to the tropical waters near the equator, cruising up to 43 miles per hour in pursuit of prey.
Their numbers are rapidly declining worldwide, however, mostly because of accidental entanglement in fishing nets.
''You just really don't get fossil sharks preserved this nicely anywhere in the world.'
- Dana Ehret, a vertebrate paleontologist at Monmouth University
The evolutionary history of the great white has been contested by paleontologists for 150 years. They were originally classified as direct relatives of megatooth sharks such as the extinct Carcharocles megalodon, the largest carnivorous shark that ever lived.
Fossils of a newfound species of shark, Carcharodon hubbelli, suggest the modern great white actually may have descended from broad-toothed mako sharks. Researchers say the newfound species represents a possible midway point in the evolution from one to the other."
