Ten Core Green Values + Yet More Feedbacks on the Campaign For A New Jerusalem Hello everyone There are so many things happenings at the same time and urgently requiring my/our immediate attention that it is becoming hard to follow every thread. You will hear more from this source about the crucial US elections in the coming weeks as we are nearing the election date. But there are also other matters such as the war in Columbia (lots of material on this in the Focus #25 issued yesterday), the violence still going on in Israel/Palestine and the escalating assault on all marine life - not to mention all the rainforests on Earth - and so on. There are fortunately some glimmers of hope but so much is still in flux and critically depends on the individual and collective choices we make every day that it is hard to be sure which way things are actually going. But as long as we keep the faith and do what we are prompted from within to do, everything should finally turn out OK ;-)

Dead Zones Marine Debris Noise Pollution Marine Debris appears as food to many varieties of marine life resulting in often fatal ingestion. For boats, both commercial and recreational, debris entanglement in motors or water intake valves can prove costly. Human activities such as swimming, diving and simple walks along the beach can also result in injury or entanglement. Debris , especially plastic film and sheeting, can settle over immobile plants and animals including valuable ecosystem habitats such as coral reefs, effectively smothering them and rendering them uninhabitable and unproductive. Reducing waste, promoting recycling, public education efforts, and volunteer coastal monitoring are major means of addressing coastal sources of marine debris. Back to the Pollution page.

Senator Slade Gorton, a Threat to All Marine Life The Turtle Trax Political Cartoon (Panel 1 of 8, 65K GIF) Quick Contents Assault on the Endangered Species Act Temporarily Halted Because the 104th Congress was adjourned, all bills that had not passed, including S 768, HR 2275, and S 1364, expired with the closing of the Congress. While these attempts to weaken and undermine the US Endangered Species Act failed, most of the Senators and Representatives that supported them won re-election. We can therefore expect these assaults to be renewed with the 105th Congress. We are keeping these pages online as a reminder of what was attempted, and who led the charge.

ADVERTISEMENT Endangered Marine Species What’s at Stake? Of all the factors affecting the health and sustainability of the world’s oceans, the status of endangered species may be one of the most familiar to the public. The reason for this may stem from that fact this topic is often the focus of the news media. As humans, we experience powerful emotions when faced with a steady stream of information and images on our favorite sea life – including, whales, dolphins, manatees, salmon, turtles, sharks, and now, the white abalone – in peril. Perhaps it is because we admire and enjoy their beauty, intelligence, or, their sheer existence, based on thousands of years of evolutionary adaptation. However, a greater reason for preventing the extinction of marine plants and animals is they are a vital components for maintaining life on earth. To understand the issues surrounding endangered marine species, it is important to explore the meaning of biological diversity, otherwise known as “biodiversity.” This is defined as the variety of life in all its forms and the interactions among these living forms and their environment. There are three general kinds of biodiversity: habitat diversity, genetic diversity, and species diversity. The survival of each is linked to the health of the other two, and together they comprise the wealth of ecosystems.

24 February 2001 Saturday 29 Ziqa'ad 1421 Please Visit our Sponsor (Ads open in separate window) US nuke reactors killing endangered marine life By Danielle Knight WASHINGTON: The cooling systems of nuclear power plants across the country are killing and harming marine life, including endangered species such as sea turtles, warn conservation organizations. A report released here on Thursday by advocacy groups says that 95 per cent of the fish, fish larvae and other marine organisms that are sucked into certain cooling systems of nuclear reactors are scalded and then discharged back into the water as lifeless sediment. "These high destruction rates can overtake recovery rates, resulting in extensive depletion of the affected species," says the report, co-written by the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, the Safe Energy Communication Council, and Standing for Truth about Radiation. The cooling system, known as the "once-through" system, sucks in large volumes of water from a nearby body of water in order to cool the reactor. A typical 1000-megawatt reactor requires as much as 130,000 litres of cooling water per minute, says the report. About 50 reactors around the country use this system. Larger mammals, including endangered sea turtles, crocodiles, and manatees, as well as seals and ducks also end up drawn in by the cooling system and they drown or get burnt, says Linda Gunter, spokesperson for the Safe Energy Communication Council here.

20. Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds And Other Marine Life Fishing Threatens Sea Birds and Other marine life. and death ( bycatch ) of many marine animals, including populations of threatened and endangered sea turtles. http://www.hsus.org/ace/15050

About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds and Other Marine Life Longline Fishing Threatens Sea Birds and Other Marine Life USDA Regulatory Fish Encyclopedia Longline fishing is a technique used to catch fish in open waters, including those who live near the sea floor. A longline includes a main fishing line up to 100 kilometers in length, with secondary lines branching off it, each set with hundreds or thousands of barbed, baited hooks. This technique is used in international waters, as well as waters controlled by the United States, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and southern African countries, and targets fish species such as tuna, swordfish, and Patagonian toothfish. Turtles Longlining results in the incidental capture and death ("bycatch") of many marine animals, including seabirds such as albatross and petrels, sea turtles, sharks and other fish, and seals. And unlike shrimp trawling, which is still the greatest threat to turtles in U.S. waters, the longlining industry isn't using devices and techniques to try to avoid bycatch. In the shrimping industry, the introduction of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) has mitigated the damage done to populations of threatened and endangered sea turtles. In some areas, longlining may be emerging as a more severe threat to sea turtles than shrimping. Sea Birds Sea birds are disappearing for a variety of reasons, including breeding site disturbance, disease, and pollution, but the greatest threat to albatross and petrel species worldwide is longline fisheries. When the lines are set, sea birds are attracted to the bait, get caught on the hooks, and drown. An estimated 400 albatross die this way every week.
