The Story of Bottled Water (video)

Since Dreamyfish Art is all about fish, oceans, and water, here's an important video, The Story of Bottled Water, which you may find informative:

For a variety of videos on many topics, visit Forbidden Knowledge TV.

However, another watery consideration (with Neptune now traversing its own watery sign of Pisces!) is that America's water infrastructure is elderly, deteriorating, corroded, and in need of serious overhauling which was made even more apparent by the destruction brought to our East Coast by Hurricane Sandy.

Two Years On: Sick Fish at BP Spill Site

BP Oil Fiasco Keeps on Giving Death and Destruction

Open sores aren't the only indication of BP's oil 'spill' damage to Gulf Coast wildlife as Ornate butter fish discovered while surfing the Net...

In the Dreamyfish Art spotlight: Fish v Turtle video!



Contenders! Guess who wins this undersea tussle?

Economic analysis excludes BP Deepwater Horizon fiasco!

How crazy is this?

Because how rigged that the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in 2010 is completely left out of calculations affecting future plans being made to drill drill drill...

Rigging numbers--and in this case, leaving out a major event altogether--causes results and conclusions to be skewed, and it's easy to see who benefits from this flawed analysis.

West Coast forage fish in danger 11.4.11

Hello again, fellow fish lovers!

Oceana has released a new report concerning dangerous conditions of West Coast forage fish which you may wish to check out.

Now you know I have no drawings of forage fish from the West Coast in my files but here's a little fellow you may have met before who'd like to say, Hi! and weigh in support of his foraging cousins...



This is my pencil drawing of a Pale sweetlips from Western Australia. But here are some other sweetlips specimens with photos and details.


To save ourselves, we must Save Our Oceans!

Is Deepwater Horizon Oil Leaking Again? 9.1.11

Sliding Down a Slicky Memory Lane (a BP-Gulf Blowout Deja-vu)

by Jude Cowell


Is the belatedly capped Deepwater Horizon well in the Gulf of Mexico leaking oil? A photo from 2010 indicates this may be so, I'm very sad to tell you.

Remember that happy day when I posted that the 'BP cap is stopping leak' circa July 15, 2010?

The headline then was that no more oil is leaking from the Deepwater Horizon well. Yes, Neptune is deeply involved in the whole BP oil fiasco and its cover-up since in Astrology nebulous Neptune rules oceans, oil, gas, leaks, fraud, deception, veils, illusions, delusions, cover-ups, dispersants and chemicals, poisons, drugs, smothering, and lies.

In a word? BP.

Now it's September 2011 and Scotland's North Sea has recently been breached by an oil leak with environmentalists demanding more answers from Royal Dutch Shell than they've received so far.

As you know, the propaganda going round is that Corporations Are People, Too--until the bagpiper is ready to be paid. Then they skip out on the bill and leave government (we-the-people) with as much of their tab as they can get away with.

Well, the little Red-banded wrasse you see below doesn't seem much impressed with 'royalty' acting badly no matter which flag they fly. He hints that human personages who can't get enough power and wealth need to get wise to their bad selves, back off, and take responsibility for their activities like all Oil Can Harrys end up doing if they criminalize society long enough--creeping about oppressing people and having their misguided way.

Okay, I'll hush about it. For now. And turn you over to Mr. Red-banded in a close-up from his Dreamyfish Art portrait, a botanical pencil rendering by yours truly but within his own imaginary scenario as a colorful backdrop in which to float about in his fondest dreams!



Hey!

Dr. Samantha Joye on Gulf Coast's hopes for quick recovery



Brown-spotted wrasse, a Dreamyfish Art pencil portrait drawn by Jude Cowell.

Even with ten blogs to my credit, it isn't often I get to cite an article from my hometown newspaper, the Athens Banner-Herald, concerning a topic of national interest. Yet today I can because recent remarks by UGA marine biologist, Dr. Samantha Joye, known for her study of the BP-Gulf Coast oil blowout and its effects on marine life, are published for our consideration.

Apparently, BP is glowingly touting that the Gulf of Mexico and its damaged waters and coastline will be good-to-go next year! But Dr. Joye, in a flurry of realism based on scientific knowledge and experience, begs to differ with BP's rosy scenario.

And I suspect that any Brown-spotted wrasse possessing a measure of common sense would agree with Dr. Joye, don't you?

Sea Radiation in Japan (video)



Here's a report on the conditions in Japan after the March 11, 2011 earthquake-tsunami resulting in nuclear meltdown with massive amounts of radiation entering the surrounding sea..."sea radiation."

Yes, radiation has shown up here in America though you won't hear much about it in the mainstream media so if I were you, I'd turn to Democracy Now! for updates on the entire sad situation.

And here's my favorite little Breaksea cod from Western Australia who's feeling very threatened about now - and who can blame him?

Do Zebrafish hold a cure for human heart failure?

One of my favorite online publications, X-RAY MAG, is reporting that Zebrafish could hold a cure for heart failure!

Those stripedy little dears are able to grow back their heart tissue and may have secrets made for medical research to discover on behalf of humankind. Personally I think the little fellow below seems very glad that the human race is finally catching up with his advanced capabilities!

Bottom of Gulf dead and still oily, says Joye

As you may have heard, Marine Science Professor Samantha Joye saw the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico with her own eyes and says it's still oily and has dead patches. Those elusive 'magic microbes' haven't finished the job.

Joye and her colleagues also say that certain predictions being circulated that 2012 will see the Gulf's miracle recuperation from the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil blow-out are wrong - I say BP must be blowing something hazy along with their pie-in-the-sky notions and slights of hand.

Meanwhile, here in Athens, Georgia, home of the
University of Georgia
(a land-grant and sea-grant insitution), we're proud of Professor Joye's excellent and careful work concerning the Gulf Oil 'spill', a plight caused by men against their fellow man, and we support her efforts to get to the bottom of the situation with honesty...and with science.

But I don't think Pink shrimp goby cares for the bad news at all:

A mystery of dead sparrows in New Zealand (poll)

More Mysterious Bird Deaths February 5, 2011

Rotorua, New Zealand has now seen its own dead birds mystery and this time sparrows have fallen on Rotorua's city streets.

"Storms" are the official guess as to the cause of the deaths yet one must wonder why other storms have not led to the same disturbing outcome. Poison? Eating other creatures contaminated with insecticides or other chemicals?

Governmental experiments? Criminal activities of some kind?

Or is the Magnetic North Pole Shift now in progress messing with their internal directional systems and making them unconscious
suicides?

Could the pole shift be behind recent mass fish deaths as well? Beached whales and dolphins come to mind.

A basic surmise must include the fact that birds move through air while fish move through water. Air and water. Contamination and pollution. Or is there a more direct and nefarious human cause such as scientists who aren't fessin' up?

What do you think?

Please take a moment to answer the poll, upper right. Sonic booms are not on the list but if you think they may be involved, please leave a comment and say so.



No fish portrait today. Just a little Painted bunting flown in from Secret Moon Art to express solidarity with his feathered brethren everywhere. He looks sad, doesn't he?

Coral the Mermaid hearts Aquatic Acoustics!

You know how the sound of ocean waves is lulling to human ears? Well, sounds are what keep sea creatures in business and their lives on course. But human beings are making it more and more difficult for denizens of the deep to survive as our sounds drown out theirs.

Accordingly, Coral the Mermaid (a brand new drawing by yours truly) has floated by to make certain you haven't missed Living On Earth's feature on the important topic of Aquatic Acoustics.

Click to read the LOE interview text or listen to the audio, whichever you prefer! And say Hello to Coral, your siren messenger from the deep blue sea...

Mysterious dead birds and fish now a global phenomenon

Now it's fish, crabs and other animals turning up mysteriously dead in various places across the planet.

So far, the comments of scientists that I've heard or read on the topic are sounding disingenuously stupid as they make ridiculous excuses for what has quickly become a global phenomenon. And it may be closer to the truth to read the dead bird catastrophe in tandem with another sad case uncovered in the dim light of the December 21, 2010 Lunar Eclipse at a crisis degree (29Gem): the murder of biological weapons expert John P. Wheeler, a former (or current?) Pentagon analyst who was not in favor of the US using biological weapons.

The Bush-Cheney-Obama wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may be implicated as well, so don't follow either of the links in this post if you're not serious about facing the possibilities you may discover concerning the US government.

(If you click, be aware that some Astrology is involved but not to fret, my posts are always written in English. Besides, you'll find interesting links to click upon, too.)

Do you think it odd that this week's season premiere of V came on TV with a mysterious 'red sky' frightening the earthlings and now dead birds are mysteriously falling from the sky and millions of dead fish are washing ashore?

Well, unfortunately the word of the week, month, or year may turn out to be: phosgene.

Massive Fish and Blackbird Deaths in Arkansas

As midnight approached on New Years Eve 2010, Beebe, Arkansas experienced thousands of redwing blackbirds falling dead from the sky within a few minutes - for mysterious reasons. Tests are underway. Chem trails or sonic booms may be implicated but the US government probably won't admit it if they're the cause. We'll see.

Plus, a week earlier, an annual fish kill along a stretch of the Arkansas River turned out to be much larger than ever before - perhaps 100,000. What the hey is going on in Arkansas?



Magpie morwong and all the Dreamyfish here want answers and environmental improvements for 2011! Don't you?
