  1. #QuizOfTheDay: #Seas are smaller than #Oceans and are usually located where the land and #Ocean meet. Typically, seas are partially enclosed by land.

    However, there is one sea without a land boundary. Do you know the name?

    A. Caribbean Sea
    B. Mediterranean Sea
    C. Sargasso Sea
    D. Philippine Sea

  2. @simon_diamond okay,I thought that it may be as a result of failure to conserve the #nature and #seas .
    And does it not destroy people's property especially the #plants ?

  3. Two #seas, same place, same time, two futures:
    The Gulf of #Mexico - Ecologically rich, teeming with endangered life
    The Gulf of #America - Dead zone where the only things moving are oil pumps
    Guess which I prefer.
    Guess which evil corporations prefer.
    Full #oil ahead!

    Why can't it simply stay like this? "...the government must protect an endangered species “whatever the cost.”

    This is not just a #US thing, corps are doing this, with much less #news coverage, worldwide!

  4. Here’s a
    #MondayMorningMinute
    with #nature here near #WorldBeeSanctuary.
    Take a moment.

    #pause

    Go do some #good.
    Have the best week you can.
    If you’re not having a good week - tell someone.
    And if someone tells you -
    Listen.
    Really #listen.

  5. The #sea is higher than we thought and millions more are at #risk, study finds #tsunami #flooding #hurricanes #climatecrisis #weather #ClimateChange rising #seas may threaten tens of millions more people than #scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high #coastal #waters already are, a new study said. apnews.com/article/sea-level-r

  6. From #WWF #Canada:

    Protecting an ocean of ice and snow

    With international waters no longer (mostly) lawless thanks to the High Seas Treaty, the world can now protect parts of the open ocean. This is especially critical for the still (mostly) frozen central Arctic Ocean as melting sea ice increases shipping and other industrial activities.

  7. All you need to know as the ‘historic’ High Seas Treaty comes into force.

    The highly anticipated High Seas Treaty has come into force today, marking a “historic milestone” for global ocean conservation.

    The treaty signals a “new era of global ocean governance”, but experts warn that it will not stop irreversible damage.

  8. Terrestrial Oceans And Lunar Maria by G.F. Makarenko

    About the Book
    Both the Earth and the Moon have been repeatedly involved in episodes of volcanic activity induced by the heating of the interior of the two planets. Before the onset of each epoch of outpourings of lava that filled volcanic seas, arcuate and ring-shaped mountain chains encircled these seas in different regions of the planets.

    The Moon is a “simplified model” of the Earth. Reviewing the structures of the Earth and the Moon simultaneously, we shall better understand the origins and compositions of the mountain ranges of the Pacific coast and see why the Atlantic-type oceans are not surrounded by mountains, and what is common in the structure of the volcanic floor of terrestrial oceans and lunar maria.

    The book is intended for a wide circle of geologists, geographers, and astronomers and will also be of interest to those who are specializing in the geology of the Earth and the Moon.

    About the Author

    Galina Makarenko graduated from the Moscow Geological Exploration Institute named after Sergo Ordzhonikidse as an engineer-geologist. She is currently a member of the geological faculty at Moscow State University, where she conducts scientific research in the areas of geotectonics and volcanism. In addition to her research, she teaches general geology and trains both students and post-graduate students.
    For many years, Makarenko participated in scientific expeditions in regions of ancient volcanism, with her candidate thesis dedicated to the geology of these areas. Her expeditions to Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands focused on comparing ancient volcanoes with active ones. Her doctoral thesis is centered on the extensive sheets of volcanic rocks found on the Earth’s continents and oceans.

    She has published three monographs and numerous articles. Today, the author is actively engaged in collecting new data in the field of comparative planetology.

  12. We’re having a #heatwave...

    And #NuclearPower can’t cope. Worse still, it’s actually a liability under ever more extreme climate conditions, write Karl Grossman and Harvey Wasserman

    Posted on July 27, 2025, by #BeyondNuclear

    "At the core of the latest attempted 'renaissance' of nuclear power is the big lie that #AtomicReactors are an answer to #GlobalWarming. In fact, they are significant sources of heat.

    "There are more than 400 nuclear power plants in the world today that fission atoms at 300 degrees Centigrade, (572 degrees Fahrenheit). More are under construction or proposed. As the International Atomic Energy Agency states, 'water-cooled reactors offer heat up to 300 degrees Celsius. These types of reactors include pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling-water reactors (BWRs), pressurized heavy-water reactors, and light-water-cooled graphite-moderated reactors (LWGRs).'

    "Some heat is absorbed in the water—drawn from water bodies—used to cool these nuclear power plants and then returned, still with considerable heat, to #rivers or #seas.

    "The heatwave going on in recent weeks in Europe, in combination with this discharge of heated water from nuclear plants, has caused #NuclearPlants there to shut down.

    "Consider these headlines from recent days:

    " '#France and #Switzerland shut down nuclear power plants amid scorching heatwave,' was the July 3rd headline on Euronews. As the piece explained: “To cool down, nuclear power plants pump water from local rivers or the sea, which they then release back into water bodies at a high temperature. However, Europe’s ongoing heatwave means that the water pumped by nuclear sites is already very hot, impacting the ability of nuclear plants to use it to cool down. On top of this, nuclear sites run the risk of posing a dangerous threat to local #biodiversity, by releasing water which is too hot into rivers and seas.'

    "A New York Times article, also dated July 3rd, related how in Europe, 'operators shut down one of the two reactors at the #Golfech nuclear power plant in southern #France after forecasts that the #GaronneRiver, from which it draws water and then discharges it after it is used in the plant as coolant, 'could top…82 degrees Fahrenheit.' The Times continued: 'The #Beznau Nuclear Power Plant in #Switzerland, built along the #AareRiver followed suit, shutting down one of its reactors on Tuesday and the other on Wednesday.' "

  14. Nat'l Coalition for Marine Conservation (#NCMC) 2007:
    Where Have All the Chesapeake Bay's Menhaden Gone?

    "...either menhaden have been overfished or environmental conditions are deteriorating. Or, most likely, both.”

    Warming coastal waters is a possible explanation for a northward shift in a number of fish stocks in recent years, from lobster to tuna.

    #Menhaden population lost its basic ecological, economic and social functions.
