Peter Tyack of Woods Hole took the TED Mission Blue folks through a spectacular view of the acoustics of whales and dolphins in his talk during the voyage. It was recently posted to TED.com and it may be my new favorite TED talk ever!  I am floored by the graphic representations of sound waves produced [...]]]></description>

Plastic Pollution Coalition has a brilliant guerilla-style grassroots campaign unfolding in Vancouver at the moment. Plastic Manners is also providing coverage and reactions from the public on the giant plastic six-pack ring found entangled across several of the marine-themed statues that grace the city.  I find the campaign brilliant and inspiring.  It&#8217;s hard to deny [...]]]></description>

The Smithsonian Marine Ecosystems Exhibit posted this really interesting photo of an IRL dolphin with a bite pattern across its back.   Many of my students believe that if dolphins are in the area then sharks won&#8217;t be, but this photo certainly proves otherwise.  I&#8217;m tempted to walk around with it in my pocket and [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m pretty much speechless about this one.    We hear about these impacts on our wildlife and we can theorize that baleen whales will scoop plastic plankton alongside the real stuff, but to see evidence of it really brings home the size of the situation we&#8217;re in.

If you&#8217;re a regular WaterNotes reader, you&#8217;ve been seeing a lot here lately about the ethics of keeping wildlife in zoos and aquariums. I&#8217;ve certainly tried to be polite while voicing my opinions, and I think my stance on it is clear:  I fall squarely within the &#8220;these animals are ambassadors for their species and [...]]]></description>

The Wildlife Conservation Society publishes its book State of the Wild on a regular basis with essays and articles covering issues in wildlife conservation.  In the current edition, an article &#8220;Rarest of the Rare&#8221;, highlights ten species thought to be among the most critically endangered of them all.
What surprises me about this list?  Several of [...]]]></description>

Gnarly stuff to share this morning: killer whales going after pseudorca whales off the coast of New Zealand. A good friend of mine is currently visiting family down under, and apparently she was able to see much of this action in person!  (Lisa, if you&#8217;re reading this, I&#8217;m terribly jealous!)
It&#8217;s not easy to tell if [...]]]></description>

Well, it&#8217;s official: three months into 2010 and we&#8217;re already experiencing our worst year of manatee mortality on record. I know that seems like an extremist statement, but the situation is pretty severe.  FWC&#8217;s latest press release updated the totals for mortality, seeing jumps in the three categories I last highlighted: cold stress, unrecovered, and [...]]]></description>
