Because life can be full of bullshit, here's some pleasant counterprogramming:
Meet #InspectorClouseau
(Old people like me will get the #PinkPanther reference)
First spotted off #Australia in 2015
The only pink #mantaRay we've discovered in the world, now or ever
Researchers have studied him (yes, a he) as to cause
Diet: no. Stress: no. Toxins: no. Infection: no
They now think it is just a rare genetic mutation
When the wind kicks up, my hair looks unkempt and ugly. But Indy? He was made for breezy conditions.

@davidho This is amazing footage of a disastrous & widespread practice hitherto very difficult to film. We Must End #BottomTrawling - further info at this informative page from @projectseahorse

I'm loving the angry #DavidAttenborough - he is fucking furious and I'm here for it.

The thing with all the #Felon47 nonsense we go through, is it distracts us from truly planet critical issues. This is one of them.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
Typical to colonizer extractive technologies, trawling is so destructive to the #Ocean and #OceanLife

You may have seen clips of the new Ocean film, from David Attenborough (I've boosted them). It directly addresses the horrific harm caused by the destructive practice of bottom trawling.
Seafood NZ is worried and has started it's attempt to justify the indefensible practice.
Be ready for
*"Our bottom trawling is not like the others, we do it 
lovingly and well",
*"the ocean is too well protected, if anything",
*"ocean so big, we're only smol beans 
" and
*"beloved 99 year old environmentalist, come do a greenwashing with us".

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 
I've always been impressed by this video from New Scientist about #copepods, the planet's most abundant multicellular organism, with interviews from several UK universities, including Exeter and Southampton. Prof Daniel Mayer & others give a lovely explaination on why these #zooplankton, and their poo, are so important to the #ocean ecosystem and #carbon cycling, and why #ClimateChange size shrinkage could have such an impact. #Science

The woman unlocking the mysteries of the deep sea in Fiji
Nicknamed ‘Moana’, Charlene Erasito is the only female Pacific Islander on the expedition to document unexplored parts of the ocean.
“The ocean is in our blood, our stories, and our responsibilities. You belong – in science, on ships, in submarines, and in rooms where ocean decisions are made. Follow your heart.”
(Erasito addressing other young Pacific women).
They can host fishes in their anus.
They can spit out their guts to "clean themselves" of pollution.
They can regenerate at will.
They can be transparent, neon-colored or twinkle with bioluminescent light.
Sea-cucumbers are fabulous, period.
