AND I THINK THE OWNER OF THAT SITE IS A REAL STINK POT TO USE THE TERM BLOGSPOT, and may be actually be legally in the wrong for thereby publically leaning on years of my hard work and hurting my reputation.
I think you and your videos STINK.
How about that from SIREN!?
I think YOUTUBE/GOOGLE should shut you down!

SUMMER SEA SHORE FUN? CLEAN UP THE BEACHES!
If you're lucky enough to go to the beach this summer, maybe on a vacation if you don't live nearby, you'll probably enjoy going into the water to swim, splash in the waves, or ride the surf and on the beach you may be creating sand sculptures, laying around to rest or get a tan (though wearing sun screen in more popular), or looking for shells that have come in with the tide.
You may have also brought a lot of stuff along with you to the beach. Bottled water. Soda. Possibly food, even food to be barbecued at the beaches that allow it. Towels, flip flops and sandals, plastic bottles with lotions and oils, swim suits and extra clothes. Books, sunglasses, and more.
If you're like me, when you get to the beach you often find things other people left behind, either because they were ignorant, lazy, or lost stuff. Then there is the garbage, a lot of plastic, that has been dumped at sea or scattered from garbage cans.
This stuff really needs to be trashed in the right cans and dumpsters!
So do your part to KEEP THE BEACH CLEAN.
When you keep the BEACH clean you also help with the effort to keep THE LAKE or OCEAN CLEAN! And that means that the sea creatures that live there have a better chance of survival!
One of the activities that can be fun is collecting the recycled cans and bottles that others leave behind, taking them to a recycling center and earning a little money from your effort.
But whatever you find, get it off the beach and into the trash where it belongs!

GLOBAL SEA FLOOR A "VOLCANIC WONDERLAND"
NBC SCIENCE - SEAFLOOR SURVEY - VOLCANIC WONDERLAND full article including color map and video!
Compared with the previous map, from 1997, the resolution is twice as accurate overall and four times as better in coastal areas and the Arctic, said lead study author David Sandwell, a marine geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California.
The seafloor topography comes from a gravity model of the ocean, which is in turn based on altimetry from the Jason-1 and Cryosat-2 satellites.

BALEEN WHALE HEARING - MYSTERY SOLVED!
DISCOVERY - BALEEN WHALES HEARING MAY BE SOLVED by Richard Farrell full article
EXCERPT:
San Diego State University biologist Ted W. Cranford and University of California, San Diego engineer Petr Krysl created a three-dimensional computer model of a baleen whale's head, one that would include the skin, skull, eyes, ears, tongue, brain, muscles, and jaws.
For their test subject, the pair obtained the head of a fin whale that beached in 2003 and then ran it through an X-ray CT scanner.
Once they had the head scan, Cranford and Krysl ran simulations of how sound travels through the whale's brain. To get the detail they needed, they used a technique called finite element modeling, in which the data representing the head parts and skull were separated out into tiny elements by the millions, the relationships between the elements tracked.
Sound can reach a baleen whale's ear bones on its skull in two ways: the sound's pressure waves can go through the animal's soft tissue; or the sounds can vibrate along the skull itself, in a process called "bone induction."
The problem with the soft-tissue, pressure, route, the researchers said, is that it's ineffective when sound waves are longer than the whale's body. But with the bone induction process, those longer waves become amplified as they vibrate in the creature's skull.
The scientists' computer modeling showed that the bone induction process was about four times more sensitive to low-frequency sounds than the soft-tissue, pressure mechanism.
What's more, their modeling predicted that bone induction is 10 times more sensitive to the lowest frequencies used by fin whales (10 Hz-130 Hz).

ANCIENT SEASHELLS UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT PROVE TO BE STRIKINGLY COLORED - NOT DRAB AT ALL!
DISCOVERY - ANCIENT SEASHELLS SPORTED FLASHY COLORS by Jennifer Viegas
Hendricks cleverly placed the drab-looking old shells under ultraviolet light. In doing so, the organic matter remaining in the shells, which date to 6.6–4.8 million years ago, became visible. It revealed the original coloration patterns of the shells that encased the large marine snails.
Using this technique, Hendricks was able to view and document the coloration patterns of 28 different cone shells, 13 of which are now suspected to be new species. One of the most striking examples was a polka-dotted shell. This unmistakable pattern is thought to be extinct among modern cone snails.

NOAA DOUBLING SIZE OF CORDELL BANK NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY and FARALLONES NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY
NATIONAL MONITOR - NOAA TO DOUBLE SIZE OF MARINE RESERVE AREA IN SAN FRANCISO BAY full article
Excerpt:
The Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, originally designated in 1989, is located north of San Francisco will increase to 1,286 square miles from its present 529 square miles. The Culf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, designated in 1981, located due west of San Francisco will expand to 3,295 from its current 1,282 square miles. ...
According to a statement from the White House, “NOAA’s action today reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to protecting our oceans and coasts. The ocean provides food, jobs, and opportunities for tourism and recreation for Americans all over the country. But the ocean is in trouble, facing serious threats from carbon pollution to overfishing. That’s why the President has taken action throughout his Administration to promote marine conservation and give Americans a voice in protecting areas of the sea that matter most to them.”
