if they bred the "hexapus" with an octopus, would we get "septapus" offspring? ;)

Quoted: English marine experts have laid their hands on an octopus that's missing two of its own: a six-limbed creature that they have dubbed 'hexapus.'

Quoted: Marine scientists called on Sunday for a $2-3 billion study of threats such as overfishing and climate change to the oceans, saying they were as little understood as the Moon.

Wow ... that's A LOT of jellyfish ... 10 square miles and 35 feet deep?!?

Quoted: Sky News - More than 100,000 salmon worth over £1m have been killed in a freak jellyfish attack.
It has wiped out Northern Ireland's only salmon farm and owners are now facing ruin.
The massive invasion happened at Glenarm Bay and Red Bay, Cushendun, off the Co Antrim coast.
Billions of small jellyfish called Mauve Stingers were involved - they stung and then stressed the salmon which were being kept in cages about a mile out into the Irish Sea.

Some good news about the ocean to balance out the bad ...

Quoted: Amid rapid declines in fish stocks and fears about the impact of climate change, scientists are nearing the end of the first global attempt to stocktake the astonishing range of life in our oceans.

How come in the diagram there's nothing to eat?

Quoted: This past April, entrepreneur and science hobbyist Lloyd Godson awoke in the middle of the night with a pounding headache. He needed fresh air. Instead he drew in a deep breath and hoped that the algae blooms inside his 8-by-10-foot underwater home would give off enough oxygen to get him through the night.

That's cool that these ducks have been useful to science.

Quoted: The ducks began life in a Chinese factory and were being shipped to the US from Hong Kong when three 40ft containers fell into the Pacific during a storm on January 29, 1992. Two thirds of them floated south through the tropics, landing months later on the shores of Indonesia, Australia and South America. But 10,000 headed north and by the end of the year were off Alaska and heading back westwards. It took three years for the ducks to circle east to Japan, past the original drop site and then back to Alaska on a current known as the North Pacific Gyre before continuing north towards the Arctic.

Incredibly scary news.

Quoted: This means the ocean at the top of the world could be free or nearly free of summer ice by 2020, three decades sooner than ...

Awesome!
