 "A hundred million years before that, the Devonian Era ended in a mass extinction of marine life. (Again, the sedimentary rock from around that time shows an unusually high level of iridium.)
About 440 million years ago, three close periods of extinction, associated with major glaciation and lowering of the sea level, brought an end to the Ordovician Era. Other major extinctions are thought to have occurred 500, 570, and 630 million years ago. There may well have been others of which scientists are as yet unaware."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
 "Algae provide oxygen and other benefits to plant and animal marine life. Algae offer a little wall of protection to the creatures of the sea from the worse excesses of man.
I reconsidered my resistance to Acetabularia as a test subject. Algae might be critical to our survival. The health of most life in the seas depends on these lowly, single-celled creatures, and the seas, like the rain forests, represent the lungs of the Earth. As algae go, so, eventually, do we."- Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) |
 "In fact, about a quarter of all marine life caught every year in gill nets .were species the fishermen didn't want, he said. Worst were the wild shrimp trawlers. Everything was dead by the time the nets were hauled into the boat. "Gill nets," he said, "are one of the worst things to happen to the ocean.
"Since only the small fish can pass through, a gill net catches all of the large fish," he said. "The genetically smaller strains are the ones most likely to survive gill nets and therefore to repopulate. As generation after generation of larger salmon is slain, those gene pools are eliminated."- David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
 "It is worth remembering that this applies as much to the seas as to the land: the destruction of coral reefs and rapid warming of the oceans will likely wipe out most marine life within the same tropical and subtropical belt.)
For humanity, a new era of enforced localism is likely, where globalisation goes into reverse and people reassert more restricted identities. Our economy is globally interconnected at present, with huge volumes of trade taking place between far-flung regions."- Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) "WU UCliKttS For sustained higher emissions scenarios, ever-larger areas of the oceans will become too acidic to support calcareous marine life. For example, in the Southern Oceans, tiny snails called pteropods (the name means 'wing-footed'; they use modified feet to swim through the water) are as important in some areas as krill as a basis of the food chain - they may reach densities of thousands of individuals per cubic metre of seawater, and animals from mackerel to baleen whales scoop them up by the tonne." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.) |

s always bears repeating, supermarkets typically position the perishable foods that you have to buy every few days well away from the entrance and along the peripheral—the outside perimeter?aisles. That way, you have to walk by hundreds of feet of foods displayed in ways that tempt you to buy on impulse."- Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) |
 "So that it can float on the surface of a body of water, permitting marine life to survive below. Otherwise—if rivers and lakes were to accumulate ice below their surfaces—nothing could survive a cold winter. You see, water is naturally designed to support life.
Waters functions in the body can be divided into two classes. First are its life-sustaining roles—its roles as a solvent, as a packing material that fills up all the spaces between the cells of the body, and as a transportation system in the bloodstream and the micro streams in the nerves and the muscles."- Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Unfortunately, organochlorines are so persistent in our environment now, that probably every person on Earth, as well as almost all animal and marine life, have been contaminated with them. In fact, people considered to be average Americans have been shown to have 177 different organochlorines in their bodies when tested. These dangerous compounds are found in the fat cells, mother's milk, semen, blood, and breath of probably every person alive today."- Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) |
 "The cobalt blue seas and surrounding coral reefs are home to over 2,000 species of fish, so it's not surprising that marine life has always supplemented the Okinawa diet. A walk through the colorful fish market is testimony to the variety of seafood consumed in these islands. You'll see bubbling tanks filled with mollusks, crabs, and lobsters; piles of squid and octopus; and row upon row of incredibly colorful and exotic green, blue, and red fish. Stalls are decorated with hanging ropes of coiled dried black eel and the puffed-up skins of poisonous spiny blowfish."- Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D.

| "Pesticides, including those now outlawed in the United States, have circulated into the ocean, where they are absorbed by marine life and accumulate in their fat. If the fish oil is not properly distilled to reduce the concentrations of these pesticides, it can lead to much higher concentrations in the salmon feed. One commercial salmon feed analyzed in a Canadian study showed a total pesticide level ten times higher than that of any other feed. The obvious solution is to set limits on allowable pesticide residues in not only farm-raised fish but also the feed that they are given." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.) |
