Extractions: Mariel Haag Internationally renowned as the ambassador-at-large to the world's oceans, Dr. Sylvia Earle, 61, is the former chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a distinguished marine biologist, a veteran of more than 6,000 hours underwater, leader of the first team of women aquanauts and holder of a depth record for solo deep diving, 1000 meters. Sometimes referred to as "Her Deepness," Dr. Earle is the founder of an ocean engineering firm and is an eloquent spokeswoman for marine conservation. Her 1995 book, "Sea Change: A Message of the Oceans," (Fawcett Columbine) has been described as a Rachel-Carson-like plea for the preservation of the oceans. Her honors include the Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award and the Director's Award of the National Resources Council. When not underwater, Dr. Earle lives in a home in the Oakland Hills in a wooded setting that she shares with her daughter and a menagerie of cats, dogs, birds and horses. She spoke with writer Jill Wolfson and student Mariel Haag.

http://www.sfgate.com/getoutside/1996/jun/edge.html

Extractions: Spineless and Slimy Why Tides? ... Splash Zone Oceans cover more than 70% of the earth's surface. Everywhere that the ocean meets the land, a unique and brutal habitat exists. Waves pounding at the rocks constantly reshape the coastline. In this narrow band between water and land, strange animals and plants thrive. Within the confines of the shore, tidal plants and animals have developed specializations which allow them to survive. The tidal zone is continually redesigned by three actions: wind, water and rock. Winds howl across the vast oceans which, over time, slowly erode the land as the waves crash against rocks stirred up by the wave action. Imagine pounding one fist into an open hand over and over again. This is life in the tidepool. When the tide retreats the sun beats down relentlessly. Exposed animals and plants need to conserve water to survive until the tide returns. Because the tides slowly invade and retreat, distinct sub-habitats exist within the tidepool, each with unique qualities. In the deeper parts of the tidepools, more water is present. Animals and plants that need constant moisture thrive in this zone. Animals and plants that need constant exposure to air live higher in the tidepool, where the waves simply splash. In between, unique critters straddle both worlds, surviving both in the air and underwater. The intertidal zone (the area between high tide and low tide) is rich with nutrients which are replenished by each incoming tide. As the waves crash down, they carry food necessary for survival of the tidepool inhabitants. Each wave carries a plankton soup which is the main diet of mussels and barnacles. Also, dead plants and animals wash into the tidepool feeding the numerous scavengers and opportunists, like hermit crabs, shore crabs, sea gulls and even anemones.
Natural Geography In Shore Areas (NaGISA): Project Descriptions: Census Of Marin
The Census of Marine life is a growing global network of researchers in more than and abundance of marine life in the oceans past, present, and future.
http://www.coml.org/descrip/nagisa.htm

Extractions: Dr. Brenda Konar, Assistant Professor Marine Science, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Institute of Marine Science, Fairbanks, Alaska, USA Visit the NaGISA web site Wading through a Seagrass bed in Phuket, Thailand, a NaGISA member brings back valuable samples for the lab. Taken by S. Bussarawit, Oct 2004. The Natural Geography In Shore Areas (NaGISA) project is one of seven initial field projects of the Census of Marine Life (CoML). It is a collaborative effort aimed at inventorying and monitoring the biodiversity in the narrow inshore zone of the world's oceans at depths of less than 20 meters, the area people know best and impact most. This is reflected in the Japanese word nagisa, referring to the narrow coastal zone where land meets the sea. NaGISA holds a unique position in the Census of Marine Life as an ambassador project, linking CoML to local interests. It is an exercise in international cooperation and capacity building. OBJECTIVES NaGISA will complete an equatorial longitudinal gradient from the east coast of Africa to the Palmyra Atoll, and a pole-to-pole latitudinal transect from the northern coast of Alaska to Antarctica's McMurdo Sound. NaGISA employs a simple, cost-efficient and intentionally low-tech sampling protocol that can be adopted by many research groups and countries, and encourage local community involvement. The ultimate goal is a series of well-distributed standard transects from the high intertidal zone to 20 meters water depth around the world, which can be repeated over a 50-year or even greater time frame.

Extractions: Is your life in balance? If your career is going strong and your income is soaring but you don't have time to enjoy it, you're probably out of balance. If your hobbies and activities are taking you away from your friends and family, maybe you're life is out of balance. If you are so busy with other things that you're ignoring your health, you probably need a balance adjustment. If you have the house, the car, the boat and the lakeside cabin but no one to enjoy it with, your balance is out of kilter. Have you ever felt like your life was out-of-control? If you have, you probably have a problem with balancing life's priorities. Balance is the type of thing that sounds good in theory but is hard to apply in "real" life. With the constant demands from our work and families, it may be difficult to imagine a life that allows for all the things you would like to do. Many people make the mistake of putting others needs ahead of their own. However, this may be a costly mistake in the long run. Burnout, depression, and loss of health are often the price we pay for not making balance a priority in our lives. Perhaps intuitively, great leaders and Successful individuals throughout time have known the importance of having balance in their lives. Instead of living to work, they worked to live. In the process, they became much more well-rounded and balanced in their livescharacteristics which correlate to Success.

http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-10/coml-hmf102203.php

Extractions: An estimated 5,000 previously unknown ocean fish species and hundreds of thousands of other marine life forms are yet to be discovered, according to scientists engaged in a massive global scientific collaboration to identify and catalog life in the oceans. The new marine fish species, being identified at an average rate of 160 per year (roughly three new species per week since year 2000), are being catalogued and mapped by the Census of Marine Life (CoML), an unprecedented cooperative initiative involving leading marine scientists from every world region. The Census issued its first report after three years of work Oct. 23 at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. More than 300 scientists from 53 countries are at work on the Census, designed to assess the diversity, distribution and abundance of ocean life and explain how it changes over time. The scientists, their institutions and government agencies are pooling their findings to create a comprehensive and authoritative portrait of life in the oceans today, yesterday and tomorrow. Over 15,300 species of marine fish are now included in the Census database with another 2,000 ¡V 3,000 expected by the time of the final Census report in 2010. CoML experts expect the final count of marine fish species to total roughly 20,000.

Krill: Shrimplike creatures are an important food source in ocean. E-mail article RSS Scientists suspect that rising ocean temperatures and dwindling plankton populations are behind a growing number of seabird deaths, reports of fewer salmon and other anomalies along the West Coast. Upwelling fuels algae and shrimplike krill populations that feed small fish, which provide an important food source for a variety of sea life, from salmon to sea birds and marine mammals. "Something big is going on out there," said Julia Parrish, an associate professor in the School of Aquatic Fisheries and Sciences at the University of Washington. "I'm left with no obvious smoking gun, but birds are a good signal because they feed high up on the food chain." This spring, scientists reported a record number of dead seabirds washed up on beaches along the Pacific Coast, from central California to British Columbia.

Extractions: HTML Text Table of Contents Teaching Tip: Along the Shore Are you taking a trip to the beach this summer? If so, here are ideas on how to use some of that time in a shoreside science study. You can modify your study based on whether your beach is sandy or rocky, as each one offers a different aspect of shore life. For an in-depth study , bring along a magnifying glass (or low-power field microscope), gloves , containers, and a notebook for recording your observations. Use paints, crayons, markers, or colored pencils to combine art with the science lesson and capture some of the color of the seashore. And if you're at a rocky beach, you might want to bring along a small water net for fishing specimens out of tide pools. Using the magnifying glass or low-power microscope
Why Is The Ocean Salty?
Sometimes river water travels far from shore before it mixes with sea water. HOW SEA life AFFECTS SEA WATER S COMPOSITION Inasmuch as the oceans
http://www.palomar.edu/oceanography/salty_ocean.htm

Extractions: All water, even rain water, contains dissolved chemicals which scientists call "salts." But not all water tastes salty. Water is fresh or salty according to individual judgment, and in making this decision man is more convinced by his sense of taste than by a laboratory test. It is one's taste buds that accept one water and reject another. A simple experiment illustrates this. Fill three glasses with water from the kitchen faucet. Drink from one and it tastes fresh even though some dissolved salts are naturally present. Add a pinch of table salt to the second, and the water may taste fresh or slightly salty depending on a personal taste threshold and on the amount of salt held in a "pinch." But add a teaspoon of salt to the third and your taste buds vehemently protest that this water is too salty to drink; this glass of water has about the same salt content as a glass of sea water.
The WE - State Of Planet - Antarctic Animal, Bird, Moving Life
A gannett a sea bird that spends most of its life off shore. They spend their time in the deep oceans riding the currents of high warmer air.
http://www.thewe.cc/weplanet/poles/antarcti/movinglf.html

Extractions: On the continent itself, the joke of Antarctica is that the only animals that live year round are less than ¼ of an inch long. The largest permanent land animal is the wingless midge at 12 millimeters in length. Even the midge prefers living on the slightly warmer Antarctic Peninsula, surviving the harsh climate by altering the water content of its blood so that it does not freeze. There are 100 land invertebrate, 67 species of insects such as aquatic rotifers, eight legged tardigrades, nematode worms, tiny arthropod crabs, and biting and sucking lice. Some Antarctic insects solve the cold problem by losing water and drying out when the temperature drops. Others avoid freezing by producing chemicals in their blood. Some do freeze with ice crystals forming between the cells. Mites, and black and shiny springtails half the size of a grain of rice, are common around bird and penguin colonies. They jump around attaching themselves to the warm blooded hosts as parasites. Midge and springtail collemola also live under rocks and stones and among lichens. These landed gentry are extremely small; many are microscopic.

Extractions: Ever since humans' early ancestors first shucked shellfish along the southern coast of France 300,000 years ago, food has been the measure of the bounty of the sea. These days, however, the notion of that bounty is expanding. Increasingly, it includes genetic building blocks cradled in unique deep-sea creatures who thrive under conditions once thought impossible for sustaining life.
