GOLDEN SHARK CAUGHT OFF COAST OF COSTA RICA
REAL CLEAR SCIENCE : GOLDEN SHARK CAUGHT
Excerpt: One spectacular example of this is a nurse shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) caught and released by sports fishers off the coast of Costa Rica in August 2024. Not only was this shark not its usual brown cookie-dough color, but it was vividly orange-colored – with white eyes, to boot.************
WHY IS THIS SHARK THAT LOOKS TO BE THE COLOR OF A GOLD FISH ORANGE? sHE LIKES WARM WATER TOO!

170O POUND GREAT WHITE SHARK TRACKED - FLORIDA TO NORTH CAROLINA : HE'S NAMED "CONTENDER"
CBS NEWS : 1700 POUND SHARK TRACKED OFF COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA
Excerpt:Sharks don't ping every day. Their movements are tracked by devices attached to their dorsal fins. The trackers can't transmit through water, OCEARCH senior data scientist John Tyminski said in a video published by the organization. To accurately confirm a shark's location, the tracker must break the surface while an Argos satellite is above. The satellites are only in a given spot for about 13 minutes. During that time, the tracker must send multiple messages for a location to be confirmed.

FIRST SHARK OFF ANTARCTICA CAUGHT ON CAMERA - WHY IT MATTERS
FORBES : ANTARCTICAS FIRST SHARK CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Excerpt: Sharks have survived mass extinctions, shifting continents and dramatic climate swings for more than 400 million years. They patrol coral reefs, cruise open oceans, call kelp forests home and rule the deep sea. And while Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) are known to rule the icy, dark waters of the Arctic Ocean, the Antarctic landscape has long been barren of this predator. The Southern Ocean is frigid, remote and punishingly cold, with temperatures dipping below zero. Which is why new footage captured near the South Shetland Islands is so remarkable: for the first time, a shark has been recorded on video in the Southern Ocean itself.9/10/25

OCEANA : PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES WITH LEGAL ACTION : 10% OF GLOBAL FISH CATCH IS DISCARDED
OCEANA CAMPAIGNS : SAVE ENDANGERED SPECIES
EXCERPT: Did you know that one of the most impactful ways to protect endangered ocean species is to prevent them from being unintentionally caught up in fishing gear?
About 10% of the world’s global fish catch is discarded. And each year, fishing gear kills or injures millions of non-targeted animals as bycatch, including sharks, whales, dolphins, fish, and sea turtles, some of which are vulnerable or endangered ocean species.
In recent years, Oceana has helped to ban the deadly shark fin trade in the United States and Canada. Oceana is continuing to work to reduce bycatch and protect important species like the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale from destructive fishing practices and other human caused threats.
Oceana and our allies have won more than 75 victories to protect threatened and endangered ocean species, including sharks, sea turtles, and whales.Did you know that one of the most impactful ways to protect endangered ocean species is to prevent them from being unintentionally caught up in fishing gear?

SAVE OUR SEAS FOUNDATION FOCUSING ON SHARKS AND RAYS : SIGN UP FOR OCEAN WEEK IN REVIEW
Sharks, rays and chimaeras are overfished and heading for extinction. More than 300 scientists have published 20 years of data in a landmark global report that details the biology, fisheries, trade, conservation efforts and policy reforms for these marine animals across 158 countries and jurisdictions. It’s a global wake-up call: we need to address overfishing and bycatch – and urgently. But there is also hope. We have the information to hand, and the dedication of so many has brought us to a historic moment when we can steer towards sustainability.
YOU Can link to three blogs at this website : OCEAN WEEK IN REVIEW, THE VOICE OF COCOS, and It's Your Ocean...
OCEAN WEEK IN REVIEW

KILLER WHALES AFTER BLUE SHARK : HE GOT AWAY BECAUSE KILLER WHALES NO LIKE
Excerpt: This CA140B pod of orcas, known as Louise’s family after their matriarch, are regular visitors to the Monterey area and are seen several times a year, Talty said. Most killer whale sightings take place in April and May near Monterey.
“What a rare and lucky encounter today between two unique species!” Monterey Bay Whale Watch said on Facebook.
Orcas are the largest members of the dolphin family, according to the World Wildlife Fund. They can reach up to 32 feet and more than 12,000 pounds.
Orcas can live up to 90 years and are a top predator, with 100 teeth. They feed mainly on other marine mammals and fish, along with seabirds and marine turtles.
Blue sharks can reach up to 13 feet long and weigh more than 450 pounds, according to Brittanica. They feed mainly on fish, squid and crustaceans.

WHERE IS THE LARGEST AQUARIUM IN EUROPE? BELIEVE IT OR NOT.... GENOA 400 ANIMAL SPECIES 200 PLANT SPECIES
Known as a historical seaport, why should I be surprised?
The Genoa Aquarium offers its guests an engaging and exciting visit experience, which promotes the conservation of aquatic biodiversity.
Furthermore, the Educational Services of the Aquarium, through a rich proposal of activities for the school world, experiences collateral to the visit for families, the development of scientific communication along the route and specific awareness campaigns, guide visitors in knowledge and understanding of the main environmental problems.

NEW YORK CITY - CONEY ISLAND -WCS AQUARIUM
Yes, this aquarium does pride itself on conservation. Here is what they have to say for themselves.
Through acoustic/satellite tagging and monitoring of several species of sharks and great whales in the New York seascape, we’re helping to guide and inform fisheries and management policies. We’re conducting long-term ecological monitoring and developing management plans for American eel and river herring as part of ongoing restoration of the Bronx River. We’re helping to secure the protection of critical habitat including the Hudson Canyon, an underwater marine marvel that rivals the Grand Canyon in scale and majesty. It’s home to an astonishing array of fish, marine mammals, invertebrates, and cold-water corals. This includes the development of the first national marine sanctuary in the mid-Atlantic. And our citizen science programs encourage the public to explore local beaches and waters, and contribute data to support marine biodiversity.
THE WCS NEW YORK AQUARIUM IS PART OF AN EFFORT TO SAVE WILDLIFE THAT BEGAN 120 YEARS AGO WITH THE CREATION OF THE NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, AN ORGANIZATION FOUNDED ON SCIENCE AND HOPE WHICH HAS SINCE GROWN TO BECOME THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY.

OREGON COAST AQUARIUM - LIVE CAMS - SHARKS - OTTERS - SEA BIRDS - FOSSILS
Special this summer is FOSSILS. Go to the site and you can get a SNEAK PEAK. CRUSIN the FOSSIL COASTLINE will include the art of Alaskan Ray Troll and Dr. Kirk Johnson, paleontologist, will show you the results of a long search for fossils.
Reading about their show, I'm reminded of my geography class. Learn about volcanoes, land slides, glaciers, ice sheets, and other earth changes that effected the Oregon Coast.
