is there anything we can do to stop the SWIMS act from going through if it gets seriously considered? It’s so ridiculous to me that people who get all their info spoon fed from blackfish and ric o’Barry can introduce these bills that could seriously affect conservation work and blatantly ignore all of the other (much more pressing!!!!) issues

If you’re a United States citizen, write your state representative and senators. Urge them to dismiss the bill or vote against it should it come to that. Explain the importance of zoos and aquariums to conservation and public education (be sure to mention your state’s AZA facilities as examples, even if they don’t house cetaceans. They’re all partners). Tell them exactly what you told me… how it’s wrong and unfair that documentaries have swayed the public’s opinion against the vital work these organizations do. Point them toward the Chicago Zoological Society’s Cetacean Welfare Study and the AZA accreditation guidelines for evidence of the superior care these animals receive.

And finally, ask them to focus on the real issues and protect our wild whales from the actual threats against them.

If the bill becomes a true issue, I will be drafting a letter to my state congressmen and will post the template here as a model! The SWIMS Act has the backing of a lot of very powerful ARA organizations (including PETA and HSUS) with very well-equipped lobbyists, so it’s important that congresspeople hear from the other side as well.

#if it comes to it I’m sure the aza will have their legal team on it #they’re usually good about monitoring that kind of stuff #swims act #cetaceans #marine mammals #conservation #answered asks #saltair-and-palemoonlight

We will count this as their first valentines.

Hawa!

Babamawa!

...

Akane?

...Yeah, I know I can't keep everybody waiting.

They're just so cute, though!

I'll keep an eye on them, don't worry. You guys go have fun and lemme know when you're on the way back.

Thank you for this, Fumio-kun.

Someone has to get this workaholic to take a break.

I'll be back soon, okay Marin? You keep an eye on Fujimori here.

Neeebwe!

Have fun, you two.

Ma...nanabby!

*He climbs up the side of his playpen as Akane starts leaving*

N-Nabby! Nabby Taiwa!

...

*She heads back and picks him up*

Hey, it's okay. Nanny's gonna be back soon.

Your cousin and your new friend will be here for you, okay? And I know...I know things get a little chaotic when I'm gone, but I promise you, I'll always keep you safe.

*She kisses him on the forehead* I love you, Ayumu-kun.

...

Nabby Taira...

See? Now you got it!

We'll be back soon, you two.

Mabawa...

Yabwa...

Hawa!

Hawa!

*Akane smiles as the two of them head outside*

I would love a big pet lizard. Once I don't have any cats I might get a pet skink or something. Something big and cute.

#I was wanting a monitor but they're I guess not for beginners and probably a little too big #I've been looking at Schneider's skinks. They're pretty cute #A blue tongue skink would be cool too but they're a little too big for me #I wish I lived in a bigger place so I could have a room just for my non cat pets #I have my tarantula in my closet #I have millipedes and a new tank marinating for my tarantula in the other room that Papaya's usually in. So far he hasn't been naughty #my posts

Comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas.

The World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas, updated on a monthly basis, and is one of the key global biodiversity data sets being widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, International secretariats and others to inform planning, policy decisions and management. The WDPA is a joint project between United Nations Environment Programme and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The compilation and management of the WDPA is carried out by United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), in collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations, academia and industry. There are monthly updates of the data which are made available online through the Protected Planet website where the data is both viewable and downloadable. Data and information on the world's protected areas compiled in the WDPA are used for reporting to the Convention on Biological Diversity on progress towards reaching the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (particularly Target 11), to the UN to track progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, to some of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) core indicators, and other international assessments and reports including the Global Biodiversity Outlook, as well as for the publication of the United Nations List of Protected Areas. Every two years, UNEP-WCMC releases the Protected Planet Report on the status of the world's protected areas and recommendations on how to meet international goals and targets. Many platforms are incorporating the WDPA to provide integrated information to diverse users, including businesses and governments, in a range of sectors including mining, oil and gas, and finance. For example, the WDPA is included in the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool, an innovative decision support tool that gives users easy access to up-to-date information that allows them to identify biodiversity risks and opportunities within a project boundary. The reach of the WDPA is further enhanced in services developed by other parties, such as the Global Forest Watch and the Digital Observatory for Protected Areas, which provide decision makers with access to monitoring and alert systems that allow whole landscapes to be managed better. Together, these applications of the WDPA demonstrate the growing value and significance of the Protected Planet initiative.

Australia gains reprieve on threat to Great Barrier Reef World Heritage status.

Great Barrier Reef escapes 'in danger' recommendation ahead of UNESCO World Heritage decision

Great Barrier Reef's first mass bleaching during La Niña season halts coral recovery.

AAP Australian Associated Press

ABC News - 9 August 2023

YouTube video >> Recovery has paused on the Great Barrier Reef - Marine Scientist Dr. Mike Emslie: AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science) annual summary update for 2023 [9 August 2023 / 3mins.+44secs.]:

Dr Mike Emslie says the Great Barrier Reef's recovery has paused.

Climate Change is the greatest threat to the Reef

In-water monitoring hard coral cover across the Great Barrier Reef remains at similar levels to that recorded in 2022, with small decreases in the Northern, Central and Southern regions.

AIMS' Annual Summary Report on Coral Reef Condition for 2022/23 (published 9th August 2023) found that while some reefs continued to recover, their increased hard coral cover was offset by coral loss on other reefs.

Most reefs underwent little change in coral cover.

The pauses in recovery in the Northern and Central regions were due in part to the 2022 mass coral bleaching event. Low numbers of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish and a cyclone in January 2022 also contributed to coral loss in the Northern region.

Continued crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks and coral disease kept coral cover similar to last year's levels in the Southern region, with bleaching playing less of a role.

Monitoring the Great Barrier Reef

Not only is the Great Barrier Reef big, it is also diverse and dynamic.

For more than 35 years, the Australian Institute of Marine Science's Long-Term Monitoring Program (LTMP) has been dedicated to measuring its coral reef habitats to understand how surveyed reefs are responding to disturbances, such as severe cyclones, outbreaks of coral eating starfish and coral bleaching.

The LTMP provides an invaluable record of change on coral communities across the Great Barrier Reef.

Ayumu meet Marin. Marin meet Ayumu.

Nmmm...

*Akane sets him down in his playpen*

Hey, it's okay. There's someone here I really want you to meet.

Yeah, you're gonna get a new friend, little buddy!

Go ahead and introduce yourself, Marin.

*He sets her in the playpen as well*

Abwaa...?

Maawa...

*Ayumu crawls over to her and grabs her sleeve*

Nnggh...

Nicely, please be gentle.

*He touches her sleeve more lightly*

Hawa!

Habwa...

Hehehehe! Hawa hawa!

Hawa!

Abbapwa...

*He crawls over, picks up his stuffed apple toy and brings it to her*

Abbwa!

Abbwapa!

They're so cute together...

First time he's ever met someone his age.

Same with Marin. I think they both needed a friend like this.

One thing that pisses me off is people seeing fish in aquariums (the establishments, not home aquariums) and being like “It’s so sad because the ocean is so big and the tank is so small and they’ll never know freedom blah blah blah-“ I’m not talking about sharks and marine mammals here but the majority of fish are not at all bothered by being in an aquarium instead of the open ocean. Like, I personally would love to be a little clown fish in one of those big reef tanks. Fed regularly. Whole team of people monitoring my health and well-being. No predators. Medicated if I show signs of illness. Aquarium fish have cushy gigs in comparison to their wild companions.
