It's the same problem with marine life. Tags: marine life marine animals endangered species. It's easier to motivate people to save them as opposed to other species that are vital, but either boring or ugly. People want to save the dolphins and the sea otters, but what about the bluefin tuna?

On a visit yesterday after work to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn I happened across this female Red-breasted Merganser that I initially thought was in the midst of struggling to swallow a nasty chunk of some kind of marine life. In fact, the snack appeared to have gotten somehow stuck to or tangled around the bird’s bill.

I understand that they are trying to encourage people to eat fish and other marine life that are not part of a collapsing fishery. I was reading Ocean Conservancy's magazine today. For the past couple of issues I've read, it has had a "sustainable seafood recipe." The purpose is to protect ocean species as a whole.

Altering the ocean’s chemistry alters the way marine life reproduces and develops; for example, a young marine snail simply cannot develop a shell in conditions that are too acidic, and will die. This has repercussions across the food web.

We should see a variety of marine life and even if the sightings are slow we will definitely have lots of Northern Gannets (like in the picture at the top of this post) which should be seen from a boat to be properly appreciated. I watched this Bald Eagle catch and eat a Blue-winged Teal at Viera a couple of years ago.

It's just another sign of the garbage we throw into the oceans. There was also some plastic and pieces of rope, but there's no determination of what may have actually killed it. It was not emaciated so it's still a mystery as to whether what it consumed played a factor in its death. Full story here in Washington Post.
