Another fossil fuel "canary in the coal mine". Now it's Pufflings in Atlantic Canada.
The stranded little darlings are dying of starvation due to unavailable food. Food source has moved deeper into colder waters of ocean due to #globalwarming. Pufflings cannot dive deep enough to reach their food.
...since starting @ClimateMigration yesterday, the vast majority of Followers are from outside the US. Understand this is not a fun subject, but the disparity in attention to this topic is pretty striking.
Scientists tracked a young #whale's journey before he vanished. What they learned could help save his species.
#Bishop’s story, from birth to presumed death, shows the extreme danger facing right #whales, which could be extinct in 3 decades if they continue to disappear at the present rate. Bishop’s species is not doomed to #extinction …but time is running out.
Two wonderful dogs to match the background 🤗🐕🐕. Enjoying a refreshing dip in the water! The background is a rocky cliff on the coast called Scala dei Turchi (Staircase of the Turks) in Realmonte, Sicily, Italy.
Juvenile Rockmover Wrasse look much different from adults. Surging water and currents move them around like leaves in the wind. Your #Hawaii#sealife#photooftheday
ABOLISH SEISMIC BLASTING SPECIAL PROSPECTING AUTHORITY PERMITS (SPA)
A Special Prospecting Authority (SPA) is a specific type of permit that allows #companies to buy access to large areas of our #oceans to use #SeismicBlasting to search for #oil and #gas, and Carbon Capture and Storage locations below the ocean floor.
Seismic blasts are how the oil and gas industry surveys the ocean floor. Seismic vessels tow an array of airguns and audio receivers (hydrophones) behind them in the water.
Seismic blasting would also occur directly inside crucial feeding areas for endangered #PygmyBlueWhales. 🐋
The government regulator, #NOPSEMA, is assessing whether or not to approve this new project and has opened up a short window for public comment. Now is our chance to tell NOPSEMA that we want CGG’s new seismic blasting proposal rejected to protect Australian #MarineLife like southern right whales.
