Photo via MoneyBlog Things keep getting worse and worse for the bird populations around the Gulf Coast. First, experts revealed that once a bird is coated in oil, it’s almost certain to die — citing that less than 1% survive, even if they’re thoroughly cleaned . Now, scientists are worried that oil-covered birds will literally be cooked alive by the heat-absorbing oil. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via The Plastiki Guest post by Doug Woodring, Co-Founder/Director of Project Kaisei The state of our ocean today is a perfect example of tragedy of the commons. We all use and take from the sea, but the majority of it is not “owned” or governed by any one country, much like the air we breathe, having no borders. As groups like Plastiki and Project Kaisei draw attention to the plight of the ocean, and the amount of waste in the

Jo aboard the Plastiki; Photos via The Plastiki Guest post by Jo Royle, Skipper on the Plastiki ‘The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides’ – Jules Vern, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. I think most of us feel an emotional tie to the oceans. Most of us breathe a sigh of relief or relaxation as soon as we set eyes upon the deep blue wilderness, a feeling of coming home.

Dr. Sylvia Earle displays samples to aquanaut inside TEKTITE; Photo via wikipedia Guest post by Sylvia Earle Since I began exploring the ocean as a marine scientist fifty years ago, more has been learned about the ocean than during all preceding history. At the same time, more has been lost. Two weeks ago, when I testified before Congress on the ecological impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, I did so with perspective gained while sloshing around oiled beaches and marshes among dead and dying animals, diving under sheets of oily water and for years – a… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: City of Toronto Years ago, the City of Toronto knocked down a lovely old market building to create a one storey concrete shed of a market that was a perfect embodiment of Toronto at the time: cheap, expedient and ugly. But now the city has greater ambitions, St. Lawrence Market is a going concern, and one storey buildings don’t have a long life in a booming downtown. The City ran a limited competition and the judges unanimously chose a winner: Rogers Stirk Harbour and Adamsons Associates “Red Team” entry…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Pasty Muncher I’ve been thinking some more about why individual environmental action is not enough . It’s not just that the metric for success—personal reductions in our impact, as opposed to collective—is on the wrong scale. It’s the wrong metric too. We are spending so much time worrying about how to reduce our impact, and be less bad, we are loosing sight of the fact that we can’t just slow the destruction. We have to reverse it too. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

From the last living Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit to least tern chicks only a few hours old (that’s them, above) see how stark backgrounds and careful shots can result in a whole new way to see the world.

Photo via NOAA Could restoring damaged reefs be as easy as super gluing corals to new shelves and ledges? Perhaps so, according to research done by Dr. Graham Forrester from the University of Rhode Island, and a team of scientists, students and locals who worked to restore a dead reef in White Bay in the British Virgin Islands. After focusing on a specific variety of elkhorn coral often damaged during storms, they found that after transplanted, corals reattached themselves after three months and after 4 years had become large adult corals. Dr. Forrester thinks that perh… Read the full story on TreeHugger
