Saving the Oceans for Our Children…

About

Our oceans are in trouble, plastic polution, overfishing and neglect are just a few of the problems. All fish and mammals who live here are in peril and need our help. This pages aim is to bring awareness to the problems facing our oceans.

Description

We need to protect our ocean world, all marine life is in danger of extinction or destruction, We need to address all issues that effect our waterworld, from sharks to whales, sea turtles to seals, invasive species, pollution, ocean warming etc. This is a vast subject but so important for our marine life and for us, if the balance is tipped much further the oceans will die, without a healthy ocean we risk our own extinction. We must protect our oceans for our children

Meet the Blobfish. Psychrolutes marcidus, they grow to a size of 12 inches and live at a depths of 800m. They are found around Australia/Tasmania and are very rarely seen. Very little is known about this species, the fish is a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water allowing the fish to float above the sea floor without expanding energy. It’s relative lack of muscle is not a problem as it only swallows edible matter that floats in front of it. The living fish is rarely seen by humans, only dead ones are found in the the catch of deep sea trawler fishermen which is leading to their extinction. The fish is inedible.
