Here's a recent segment and interview from The Thom Hartmann Program concerning an alarming environmental catastrophe that's only getting worse:

In real life, this drawing is hu-u-ge! Emerald Fish Investigate!; oil and watercolour pencil on black paper by yours truly Jude Cowell (c)1996--2020 and beyond; photo via a Samsung phone because the drawing won't fit a regular scanner bed at all even though images aren't as crisp as you and I would prefer. Yet I'm thinking a blurry phone snap creating an excerpt from my over sized drawings is about the only way that larger, long hidden illustrations will ever come out of their shells, yawning as they dare...
Wonderful You: You're in the Fish's Dream!
So if you may, consider this posting a tiny peep eye! to You from the emerald fishes who, admittedly, turn up quite often within my botanical fish portraits with their impossibly exotic backgrounds. Well, fish dream, too!

Perhaps it's mild synchronicity that today (Mar 2, 2017) such an investigation by the emerald fishes occurs at this moment here because in a related story about certain current events we discover that more research {is} needed into 'intrusive' seismic surveys: Western Australian fishing industry asserts. Or, perhaps the guilty parties should cease and desist causing harm to the environment making unnecessary their expensive studies (intended to delay action).
Those responsible should do what needs to be done or improve what needs improving. Like Obamacare. Improve it, don't kick millions of Americans to the curb without health insurance, you Washington blighters. Oops! Mea culpa! It's my indignation at in-breach-of-the-public-trust politicians who are nearly completely worthless as 'our' representatives. If Republicans and enabling Democrats proceed with their austerity measures, let's kick power elite freeloaders off taxpayer-funded health insurance programs for a year and see how they like it.
Astrological Neptune Erodes, Dissolves, and Veils
Intimidation, bribery, blackmail, pocket-lining, graft, fraud, insider trading, pay offs, favors, you name it. That's my former city of residence, the Virgoan-Scorpionic Washington DC. And though I miss the beauty of the place, to me its citywide Masonic architecture looks more and more mausoleum baby with each passing year while the Halls of Power grow dustier, draftier, and leakier by the Neptunian drop. Could the dripping sound We the People hear be pouring from our nation's 1776 Neptune in earthy Virgo?
Does this video make you hungry?
So often it's bad news for oceans and the environment posted here on Dreamyfish Art but not today! Check out this too-brief tour of the mysterious Shell Grotto tucked underneath the British town of Margate:
Warm Regards and a Thank You to Great Big Story!
Perhaps you've heard the very good news--that SeaWorld has agreed to end their captive breeding of whales! For more details you may wish to visit NPR.
Isn't it a major improvement when the human animal finally catches up with the intelligence and integrity of the animal kingdom? Makes for a pleasant change!
These days freakishly huge sea creatures are turning up in various locations but don't worry, say government officials, Fukushima radiation isn't the problem at all!!!

In Astrology, planet Neptune (ancient god of the sea) describes a variety of concepts such as all liquids and gases, bodies of water including oceans, the sea creatures that inhabit the waters, and the toxins and chemicals that harm them. But astrological Neptune also inspires such realms as photography, film, acting, dancing, illusion, magic, and masks such as the one you see, above. Even anonymity peeks from veiling Neptune's bag of tricks.
So if you'd care for some lighter Neptunian content than radiated sea monsters, why not mosey over to my brand new blog Neptune's Silver Screen where horoscopes, film clips, and bios of Famous Film Stars are spotlighted--just be sure to BYOP (bring your own popcorn)!
Sorry to report that there is bad news concerning the Growing Impact of Ocean Acidification on Marine Life Worldwide.
And with transiting Neptune now in its own sign of fishy, murky Pisces (and increasing paranoia within the Collective Unconscious and bringing increases of toxins, poisons,contamination, and infections in its watery wake), we have pineal gland calcification concerns to be addressed. Check out a previous post with an informative video on how to do just that--because our 3rd eye intuitive faculties need relief!

Near the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific, David Gruber and fellow nighttime divers spotted and filmed a rare and endangered biofluorescent sea turtle as you see here...enjoy!

Relax, because here is one-minute-seven-seconds of undersea loveliness!
It isn't often I watch a video multiple times but this one is heartwarming! From 2013, a dolphin rescue:
A heads-up thanks to the excellent Julie Demboski who posted the video to her Facebook timeline!

This is distressing news: Why Are Hundreds Of Thousands of Salmon Dying In The Northwest? published on July 29, 2015 and written by Natasha Geiling.
Warm water which gives bacteria and other threats a good place to dwell is an immediate cause but as you know, these are symptoms of a wider problem. Will loss of salmon boost sales of genetically modified salmon?
Nah!
However, 'Salmon Are a Huge Economic Resource in the Pacific Northwest':

New methods, chemicals, and filters have made setting up a saltwater aquarium much easier than it once was!
If the following awesome video is eventually removed from Dreamyfish Art I hope you'll search for it on YouTube!
