On Monday evening the BBC sent out a documentary with the title: The Death of the Oceans? The program which “starred” naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough explored the work of the ambitous scientific project “The Census of Marine-Life” which aims to document and record all marine life still surviving in our earth’s waters. One of the things the project is also in the process of doing is measuring the precise impact that the raise in CO2 levels is having on delicate marine environments, such as the Great Barrier Reef and what the consequences will be for the future, if we do not address the serious issues our oceans face. The degree of complexity of this study is pretty astounding as are the ways that marine biologists and scientist are collaborating with for example large sea mamals such as the blue whale. By placing sensors on these creatures, the enormous ships that cross through their feeding grounds are able to see them on their radar, hence avoiding hitting them. Noise pollution under sea is also a massive problem to animals such as whales who have complex under water communication systems.
Neptune in Pisces – Neptune in Pises, it seems suddenly very clear to me that the journey of Neptune through this most mysterious sign must herald the start of our greater understanding of, and careful stewardship of the world’s oceans. Since Neptune is also linked to chemicals and to oil spillage, there is of course a hightened risk that more accidents such as the Deep Horizon will occur. Neptune tends to dissolve and therefore weaken resolve. The documentary ended with the wise words of one of the most human scientists I think I have ever heard speak. He was quite clear. We can save our oceans, but we need to act now.
