    Extinction Soup - Hopefully this will be the next Blackfish

    Over 70 million sharks are killed each year. "Extinction Soup" documentary could change that statistic

    Is it largely Asians that are hunting the sharks?

    Mostly it's asian countries/eastern cultures that do the majority of shark hunting for fins like this yes, however, it does not mean that there can't be more global awareness forced out there since a lot of sharks are also killed as bycatch around the world by fishermen and fishing industries.

    Extinction Soup | Indiegogo

    FYI the Extinction Soup documentary is not complete yet since they need funding. If anybody is interested you can go to their website above and donate. I donated some money the other day so hopefully they reach the production goal so that it can be finished and shown.

    Why, then, you may enjoy a tasty box lunch, as soon as those clever Japanese finish their research, on how to make jellyfish into chowder.

    As climate change takes the oceans, acidic cold currents upwell, to kill shellfish and reefs, while warm currents yield jellyfish blooms, and other ocean areas are simply DEAD.

    We will eventually see oceans, which feature few plants, other than algae blooms.

    You can get those Japanese scientists to serve you up something, made from box jellyfish blooms, which start off the east coast, of Japan, to slop around the north, of Honshu, until they clog the heck out of Tokyo Bay.

    Then those darned clever Japanese have to find a way to make sushi, out of wandering conservaderps.

    No big shift, there. Headhunting has been outlawed, mostly, but it'll get going, again, no doubt.

    A plethora o' jelly fish...

    Jellyfish wash up 'like wallpaper' on Australian beach
    Fri, 03 Feb 2017 - The rare sight of thousands of jellyfish stranded in Australia surprises locals and marine experts.
    Charlotte Lawson, 24, took photos of the jellyfish at Queensland's Deception Bay after noticing an unusual colour in the water. "[When] we got closer we realised it was jellyfish," she told the BBC. "It was like bubble wrap across the beach." Although a common sight on Australia's east coast, the mildly venomous marine stinger is rarely seen in such numbers.


    Jellyfish cover the beach at Deception Bay in Queensland

    Marine biologist Lisa-Ann Gershwin said she gasped when she saw the pictures. "It's like wallpaper," she said. "They are just cheek by jowl. They are packed so tightly. It's a sea of blue." Dr Gershwin said the phenomenon was probably caused by a combination of factors including warmer waters, abundant nutrients and an absence of predators.


    The density of the stranding has surprised experts

    Northerly winds and tide conditions may have also contributed, she said. Ms Lawson said she had never seen so many jellyfish. They had started to smell "pretty rank", attracting complaints from locals, she said. Dr Gershwin said she expected the jellyfish to dry out on the sand and be eaten by birds.

    Others species washing up

    The Sunshine Coast Daily reported that recent strong north-easterly winds had contributed to a spike in jellyfish sightings. According to Surf Life Saving Queensland, more than 22,800 swimmers were treated for stings by another jellyfish species, the bluebottle, on the Sunshine Coast from 1 December to 31 January.


    The blue blubber, or catostylus mosaicus, is a common sight in south-east Queensland

    Dr Dan Capps said he treated three dogs for stings at his Sunshine Coast veterinary clinic at the weekend. "We've had a prevalence of bluebottle jellyfish and other fire-type stingers on the Sunshine Coast," Dr Capps told the BBC. "Some dogs have been eating them and its a very painful experience for them."
