Happy Earth Day 2009

And Thank You, Google, for including my favorite marine invertebrates in your Earth Day 2009 banner.

Since I'm crazy busy at the moment and can barely find the time to even post this Earth Day message, I thought I'd give some shouts to some of my ocean blogging colleagues who have produced more substantive offerings.

The ever hopeful Mark Powell has a thought provoking post on whether we have the luxury of taking a NIMBY (or NIMO) attitude in considering sequestration solutions to global CO2 and climate change.

Over on Southern Fried Science, Andrew asks, "Whither environmentalism?" while David asks, "Are there greater threats to the planet than global warming?". Head over for their thoughts.

Angelo has a few reasons to celebrate on this Earth Day in Saipan. Head on over and catch-up on what's been keeping him busy.

Happy Earth Day! Now turn off your computer and head outdoors. Find some nature (wherever you might be) and remind yourselves what a spectacular living planet we are all part of and responsible for maintaining.

Happy Earth Day!

It's great to see the culture of the day shifting to include the whole earth, oceans included, in addition to planting trees.
