The ocean is broken

[Matilda]

Exactly 10 years before, when Newcastle yachtsman Ivan Macfadyen had sailed exactly the same course from Melbourne to Osaka, all he'd had to do to catch a fish from the ocean between Brisbane and Japan was throw out a baited line.

"There was not one of the 28 days on that portion of the trip when we didn't catch a good-sized fish to cook up and eat with some rice," Macfadyen recalled.

But this time, on that whole long leg of sea journey, the total catch was two.

No fish. No birds. Hardly a sign of life at all.

Terribly sad and disheartening. No good can come of this.

2. This story is from last October.

Maybe it needs recycling for any who missed it, but it was linked here when it was first published. Incredibly ominous, nevertheless.

6. MSM should be reminding us every day.

We're killing too many life forms.

And what too many idiots do not realize is that everything livng has symbiotic relationships that in some way affect or will affect humans.
