A nice letter from the National Geographic Traveler and the closing chapter on our Nudibranch Photography discussion as seen in the recent National Geographic Magazine...plus a short intro... the Olive ridley Turtles, an endangerd species.
...the closing
chapter? maybe...but YOU never know what is
around the next corner.

hatchlings been released into the Ocean,

The leatherback, hawksbill and
Kemp's ridley turtle species are listed as
endangered. The breeding populations of Olive ridley
and green sea turtles are endangered along Mexico's
Pacific Coast, and threatened elsewhere, the study
found. Coastal development, beachfront lighting,
pollution and hunting are contributing to the demise
of the sea turtles, which come ashore periodically to
lay their eggs in "nests" dug in the sand, according
to the study. "Threatened" means a species could
become "endangered," which means the species might
face extinction.

See
below the letter from Marilyn Terrell; thanks Marilyn
for your kind words, lets do this again one of these
days with topics concerning our Environment or
related issues.
Fascinating
discussion, and I'm impressed that marine biologist
Lee Goldman took the time to write such an informed
and thought-provoking response. Thank you Gunther for
hosting this worthwhile conversation. I like it that
people with differing points of view are given a
chance to express their concerns and opinions on your
blog in a civilized way.
All best,

Underwater Photography…are you a responsible
Photographer? A letter from a Marine
Biologist…Education, awareness, an article in the
recent Fins Magazine fits in nicely with the
Nudibranch images in National Geographic Magazine…
