Spanish shawl nudibranch (Flabellinopsis iodinea)
This animal can be found in tide pools and coastal areas ranging from Baja California all the way up the coast to British Columbia, Canada.
The brilliant colors of the Spanish shawl come from a pigment called astaxanthin, which comes from the hydroids, tiny fan-like animals, that the nudibranch feeds on. Strangely enough, astaxanthin pigment appears reddish orange to us yet the purple, red and orange colors of the Spanish shawl are all derived from this one pigment. In the Spanish shawl, the astaxanthin pigment exists in three distinct states resulting in the amazing color display you see above.
The pigment astaxanthin is responsible for the red coloring of many wildly different animals, including lobsters and other crustaceans like krill, salmon and even flamingos.

It’s impossible not to wonder what’s really going on at the compound in Cross, South Carolina, an hour north of Charleston. The one off of a gravel road in the thick of loblolly pines, with the razor-wire fence and the CAUTION and BEWARE OF DOG signs, the big guard dogs glaring through the posts. Locals speculate about its mysteries, but behind the spiked gates lies not a drug den, or a secret government experiment, but an ark: a crucial collection of the world’s rarest turtles.
Sulawesi forest turtles, inching their heads from under the banana leaves in a greenhouse turned jungle. Asian big-headed turtles, with their bulbous skulls. And turtles so tiny and dark green they’re camouflaged to the naked eye. In all, six hundred turtles representing twenty-five species live inside the Turtle Survival Center (TSC), one of the only such facilities in the United States…

The Trump administration moved forward Friday with plans to scale back a century-old law protecting most American wild bird species despite warnings that billions of birds could die as a result.
Officials said in a draft study of the proposal that it could result in more deaths of birds that land in oil pits or collide with power lines or other structures.
More than 1,000 species are covered under the law, and the changes have drawn a sharp backlash from organizations that advocate on behalf of an estimated 46 million U.S. birdwatchers.
The study did not put a number on how many more birds could die but said some vulnerable species could decline to the point where they would require protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe and independent scientists have said the change could could cause a huge spike in bird deaths — potentially billions of birds in coming decades — at a time when species across North America already are in steep decline…

Trump wants to open the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to industrial fishing
On June 5, 2020, President Trump issued a proclamation that exposes Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to harmful commercial fishing.
As the U.S. confronts its long history of systemic racism and deals with a pandemic, Trump is using this moment of national crisis as cover to assault the environment. This move defies the will of the American people. In a recent poll, 92% of Americans said that government regulations are needed to protect the ocean.
Nor will opening this monument up to commercial fishing boost the fishing economy the way the Trump administration claims. There is no evidence that fishing harvest has been harmed in the creation of marine national monuments. Furthermore, the fragile ecosystems within Northeast Canyons and Seamounts would be irreparably harmed by industrial-scale fishing gear…

“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020
