PRIMITIVE COELACANTH ARE EATING PLASTIC DEBRIS IN INDONESIA

A coelacanth was found dead off the coast of Indonesia with a plastic wrap from Lay’s potato chips inside its guts. The image was originally taken in 2016 by an Indonesian fisherman, but recently was shared by Blue Planet Society on Twitter. This is the first report of marine debris ingestion by coelacanth, and despite this coelacanth was found dead, there is no certainty if the plastic wrap was involved in the decease.

The Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis), one of two living species of coelacanth, is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. There are around 10,000 mature individuals remain in the wild. Although they have no value as food, they are extremely susceptible to bycatch by deep sea fishermen.

This relationshiop between marine fauna and debris is not a surprise, since China, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam,are spewing out as much as 60 percent of the plastic waste that enters the world’s seas.

Coela­canths were once believed to have gone extinct and were known for a long time only through fossils. In 1938, a living specimen was unexpectedly discovered in deep waters off South Africa. Coelacanth are opportunistic predator, meaning it will eat anything that crosses it's path while it hunts for food, living in deep waters at 150-200 m depth.

CONCEPTUALIZING THE ISSUE AND ASSESSING TYPES OF ACTION

1. I chose to do my civic action on the pacific garbage patch because I have heard of it but never researched it and want to learn more. 

2. It is an issue because the outrageous amount of garbage in that area affects our oceans, environment and the wildlife living there because we don’t clean up after ourselves. 

3. First, we need to inform the people of the United States the truth about hoe horrible it is that we have all this waste in our “shining sea”. Then, we must all take action to clean up after ourselves and start taking action in some environmental ideas like removing plastic from our daily lives as much as possible.

4. Five people I am following on twitter that also support my issue are @OceanChampions, @TheOceanCleanup, @Greenpeace, @SeaSaver and @UNFCC. I follow all these people because they all have similar views on the environment as I do and encourage others to take action to make our world cleaner. One very recent tweet made by Ocean Champions caught my eye and was very interesting. The blog caught my eye because just recently I got contacts and in their post they stated “If You Love the #Ocean, Stop Flushing Your Contacts Down the Toilet”. Even though I haven’t flushed my contacts down the toilet, I never knew that flushing them down would have any real affect on our oceans. I also agree with the post because just by doing something so small as avoiding throwing your contacts away in the toilet can help save our planet.

Sea Turns Blood-Red With More 250 Whales Slaughtered During An Annual Ritual In The Faroe Islands

The sea in the Faroe Islands turned red as more than 250 whales were slaughtered in an annual tradition in the region. WARNING: The images in the article contain graphic content. Chilling images of the blood-red sea emerged after the annual ritual in Grindadràp, LADbible reveals.

Campaigners and activists have slammed the horrific ancient tradition which involves killing hundreds of whales. On Friday, the non-profit organization Sea Shepherd alerted in a Facebook post: “252 pilot whales and 35 white-sided dolphins were massacred yesterday in the Faroe Islands.” https://www.facebook.com/SeaShepherdFrance/posts/3044676898921104 In a statement, referring to the ancient ritual as ‘barbaric practice’, the organization said that the defenseless sea animals were killed in Hvalba after the huge pod was found off Sandvik, Faroe Islands. They claim this was the first organized hunt in the region for this year: “This is the first organized Grindadràp hunt of 2020 with the meat from the hunt distributed first to the approximately 70 hunt participants from the boats and those killing on the beach – and then the remainder to villages on Suðuroy with all recipients then free to sell their share of the meat if they so wish.” The Faroe Islands is home to around 100,000 pilot whales every year. Even though most hunters have the required hunting license, they are often condemned by animal rights activists. For instance, the Blue Planet Society claims the whales and dolphins in the area had been ‘brutally and cruelly slaughtered’. https://twitter.com/Seasaver/status/1284781318853795840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1284781318853795840%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fiheartintelligence.com%2Fsea-turns-blood-red-with-more-250-whales-slaughtered-during-an-annual-ritual-in-the-faroe-islands%2F Additionally, the environmental organization ORCA tweeted: “To the beautiful family of pilot whales that were brutally murdered in the Danish Faroe Islands, we are so deeply sorry… We will keep fighting to end this insane blood sport. RIP beautiful family… Please Boycott the Faroe Islands!” https://twitter.com/OceanicRescue/status/1283945640863531008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1283945640863531008%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fiheartintelligence.com%2Fsea-turns-blood-red-with-more-250-whales-slaughtered-during-an-annual-ritual-in-the-faroe-islands%2F As Tyla reports, apart from the whales, around 1500 dolphins are massacred each year in the Faroe Islands, located between Norway and Iceland. The traditional hunt is believed to date back over a thousand years, ever since Norsemen first settled on the islands.   Read the full article

In order to take care of our oceans a little better I have decided to create a blog in order to pull together resources from both ocean conservation pages as well as oceanic research accounts that post findings to some of the ocean’s most recent discoveries.

The first link that I will include is a article about how nutrients from everyday objects are causing algal blooms in florida’s waters. Algal blooms can be harmful for the environment and can often be a result of issues within a particular environment. They can also show when humans are not using the environment properly. To learn more about how Florida’s waters are currently being affected by algal bloom please reference the article below:

If one wanted to learn about how to be a better recycler They might want to check out the following links. The first article discusses what the meaning behind notations on plastic bottles mean. Understanding notation on plastic bottles can allow individuals to know what chemicals are used to package their goods. Additionally, they can dispose materials in the correct way after reading this article.

The next link is about how to be a better recycler. It includes daily practices that can be used to be more eco friendly which will result in less pollution of our waters if everyone does their part.

If an individual is looking to get involved in maintaining our oceans they can find over 2000 organizations and groups that might be appealing to them. In order for the blog to have a decent effect on people’s actual behaviors then they would have to engage in participatory culture. Jenkins says that people who use participatory culture often pool together resources to create good content (Jenkins,2008). In regards to the following ocean blogs, if one were browse through their social media accounts you would see that there are often many resources and interconnections among groups who are fighting for the same cause. These are some of the leading ocean conservation accounts on twitter:

In order to create the large platform for these pages users must engage in participatory culture to help grow the pages follower count. Jenkins argues that the “web has become a site of consumer participation” (Jenkins,2008). I think that social media trends allow for good ocean conservation organizations to get noticed by the masses. Additionally that consumer participation on the web can have positive impacts in the natural world if proper behavior and resources are shared on social media pages.

@Seasaver: Short-beaked common dolphins are subject to what is probably the biggest non-cull slaughter of a large wild mammal on the planet. PLEASE help us end this disgraceful carnage https://t.co/NSXkZz4Dwj @VSinkevicius #bycatch
