Ocean Futures Society Covers BP Oil Slick - Donate Today

The Gulf oil disaster needs first person coverage and got it this week with a little help from the Ocean Futures Society:

The Ocean Futures Expedition Team discovered this massive oil slick just 24 miles off the coast of Louisiana. The oil stretched as far as the eye could see and down to about 15 to 25 feet deep. Amongst the muck swims a Man o' War and a small fish that swims alongside for protection. The team is encountering many floating globs of rust colored oil; dark black fresh crude; and oily surfaces as they explore the coast.

We need funding to keep our team in Louisiana. Please consider making a donation.

Cousteau Dynastic Ambition

What has always been the realm of back room conversations and quiet emails spilled out into an unholy mess of a "tell all article" this week.

The Cousteau family as it turns out has enough Dynastic Intrigue behind it to make a Ming Emperor blush.

Here's the article read and be amused.

As for the Mind of the Demon I think we can all agree it is perhaps the worst piece of shark film making to ever grace prime time television. A cautionary tale about being overzealous with sharks, technology, and the naming of a show.
