Switchboard, from NRDC :: Rich Kassel's Blog :: In praise of the IMO's actions to reduce ship pollution

The first step is acknowledging that there is a problem...the next step, admitting your part in it, followed by a practicle and permanent solution. I AM more sure than ever, after my Sea Turtle interview this Winter, that some of those lesions-Fibropaplomas, are directly linked to human waste from ships dumped/ put untreated, directly into the Oceans!

This is a great beginning but more must be done. However-NEVER Handle a bat, especially without THICK LEATHER Gloves, The picture in this article is a bad example. And probably raised in captivity. Bats are one of the MAIN Vectors of Rabies!!! They have needle sharp teeth that they use with deadly precision!

It's about time-Too late sadly for some! The Appalachian Chain, and The Great Smoky Mountains are not only a Natural Treasure, but the Biosphere is a World Heritage site, to remove and mine the tops of any portion of this Ecosystem, would have a catastrophic impact on the mountains, and an irrevokable affect on Flora and Fauna, both Migratory as well as Native.
