Ignorance is bliss.. for the time being.
A blog about food issues, food politics, veganism, and other things I am fond of.

Death at SeaWorld, a gripping scientific thriller, tells the story of real people taking part in the heated debate over killer whales in captivity. David Kirby eloquently describes the lives of orcas in the ocean and compares them to those in tanks at amusement parks. He writes about the media backlash, the eye-witnesses who come forward to question SeaWorld’s glossy image, and the groundbreaking OSHA case that challenges the very idea of performing shows with the ocean’s top predators. Death at SeaWorld exposes the backroom politics, profit-centered policies and dangerous conditions at SeaWorld, America’s most beloved marine mammal park.

Since submarines began roaming the depths in World War I, sailors and oceanographers, who use sonar technology to map seafloor topography and identify ocean life, have regularly run into “acoustic ghosts”—inexplicable bodies of movable mass that sometimes rivaled the size of a city. Every time a theory emerged to explain the phenomenon, however, it was quickly shot down.
In 2003 scientists aboard a research vessel just south of Long Island, New York, discovered that the UFOs were composed of hundreds of millions of fish—massive gatherings on a scale never before documented. Using low-frequency sonar technology that penetrated hundreds of miles, they identified a school roughly the size of Manhattan.
The ocean terrifies and amazes me.
