Please join this effort to stop seismic testing as it is now planned
at Diablo Canyon nuke, which could kill or maim thousands of sea
creatures in the newly instituted ocean sanctuary. This is senseless
and needs to be prevented. Please help.<br>

Surfrider
Foundation
vowed last
week to stop
seismic
testing slated
to begin off
the coast of
Central
California
this November.
Pacific Gas
and Electric
(PG&E)
proposed the
tests to
assess the
susceptibility
of the Diablo
Canyon Nuclear
Generating
Facility to
seismic
activity. A
240-foot ship
will tow
powerful air
cannons along
a 50-mile
stretch of the
Central Coast,
shooting
deafening
underwater
explosions
(upward of 250
decibels)
every 13
seconds for 42
straight days.
This action
will be
catastrophic
to local
marine life,
especially
marine
mammals, which
rely on their
sensitive
auditory
capabilities
for
communication
and
navigation.
The takings
permit for the
project – the
estimated
amount of
wildlife that
could be
killed –
includes 15
blue whales,
13 humpback
whales, 1,652
bottlenose
dolphins,
1,062
California sea
lions and
1,485 southern
sea otters
There is also
the
possibility of
death or
injusry to
thousands of
other marine
mammals, and
untold scores
of fish and
birds. This
potential loss
of wildlife is
even more
staggering
considering it
will impact
areas
specially
designated to
protect marine
life. <br>

temperatures
along the

all-time
records, with

for marine
ecosystems.
Above-average

were found in
all parts of
the ecosystem,
from the ocean
bottom to the
sea surface.
The average
sea surface
temperature
exceeded 51
degrees during
the first half

The average

Yoji Ookata, a
deep-sea
photographer
and diver who
has been
documenting
the ocean for
more than 50
years, saw
something he
had never
observed
before: A
circular
pattern of
rippling sand
about 80 feet
below sea
level and 6
feet in
diameter on
the ocean
floor. Ookata
dubbed his new
find the
"mystery
circle" and
was shocked to
discover that
a single
puffer fish,
no more than a
few inches
long, had
created the
circles using
just one fin.

drinking water
from seawater
has been
technologically
achievable for
several
decades. Until
recently,
however,
application of
seawater
desalination
("desal") on a
large scale
has been
primarily
limited to
arid regions
of the world
that have a
cheap supply
of energy,
such as in the
Middle East.
Desalination
plants can
take water
from the ocean
or drill down
and grab the
less salty,
brackish water
from seaside
aquifers. It
is a worldwide
phenomenon
that has been
embraced in
thirsty
California,
with its
cycles of
drought and
growing
population.
But many
projects have
been stymied
by
skyrocketing
costs and
legal
challenges.</font><font

The Rise Above
Plastics (RAP)
Speaker
Program,
founded by the
Surfrider
Foundation,
has two simple
goals - to
educate the
world about
plastic
pollution in
our oceans,
beaches and
waterways and
inspire and
empower
individuals to
do something
about the
issue. Using a
combination of
online tools
and classroom
and beach
education, the
RAP Program
offers
training
courses for
passionate
activists to
become
educated
members of the
Rise Above
Plastics
Speaker Group.<br>
