Amusing dog pictures, a new Marine reserve, and Freshwater ecoregions information

I get such a big kick out of Chinese Crested Dogs. They’ve always struck me as punk puppies - and this photo proves it for sure! You can see more hilarious dyed dog photos here.

There is a lot of concern for our marine environment lately. Global warming and overfishing threatens many species and coral reefs. So it is heartening to see the tiny island nation of Kiribati stepping up to create the world’s largest protected marine area. An area the size of California in the Pacific Ocean is now off limits for commercial fishing. Scientific research in the area has found species of fish previously unknown to science, as well as a flourishing coral reef system.

As long as we are on the subject of watery environments, Freshwater Ecoregions of the World is a chock full of information website you might enjoy. Click on your own area and discover what fresh water ecoregion you belong to and the issues of concern for your locality. You may learn about some species of fish that occur only in your region - I did. Or maybe about some water birds who migrate through or live nearby that you might like to go bird watching for. You are sure to learn something!
