*Ø* Blogmanac | Ninety per cent of large marine life wiped out

From the American Association for the Advancement of Science
"Marine biologists Larry Crowder and Andy Read outline the threats to conservation of our marine animals, many on the borders of extinction, and the hope for new technologies in gathering vital data. Let's hope it's not too late, because according to Daniel Pauly, 90% of the biomass of large ocean fish has already disappeared over a very short period."

"The nesting populations of the critically endangered Pacific leatherbacks have crashed over the last decade as the survival of these mighty leatherbacks is threatened by both local and global impacts."
