]]> Comment on Slow Road to Recovery after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill for Deep-Sea Communities by Anupama https://deepseanews.com/2019/10/slow-road-to-recovery-after-the-deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-for-deep-sea-communities/#comment-80605 Wed, 01 Jan 2020 13:45:03 +0000 https://www.deepseanews.com/?p=59179#comment-80605 Thanks for the article, its really sad to hear large area of sea is polluted due to oil spill. We have to spread awareness regarding these incidents, so government can be forced to take necessary precautions.

]]> Comment on The Beauty of Rarity by Alistair Dove https://deepseanews.com/2019/08/the-beauty-of-rarity/#comment-78401 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 18:57:00 +0000 https://www.deepseanews.com/?p=59136#comment-78401 Beautiful piece Craig. I think sometimes about another kind of rarity, which is phylogenetic uniqueness. My beloved whale sharks are a good example. Not only are their populations declining (and none too big to start with), which is one sort of rareness, but they are the only member of their genus AND the only genus in their family, AND the only pelagic member of their order, and that is rare indeed. I feel the same about coelacanths and tuataras and all the other animal species that exist on their own little separate branches of the great Tree of Life, far removed from other dense clusters of twigs formed by more pedestrian radiations.

Rarity of any of these kinds is a type of beauty, and when a species combines many or even ALL of the classes of rarity, well those are real unicorns aren’t they?

]]> Comment on Don’t be shallow. A tale of subsurface microplastics and the processes that transport them. by A. Karhumaa https://deepseanews.com/2019/06/dont-be-shallow-a-tale-of-subsurface-microplastics-and-the-processes-that-transport-them/#comment-77768 Sat, 15 Jun 2019 12:13:34 +0000 https://www.deepseanews.com/?p=59113#comment-77768 Interesting!

By the way, the initial rocket stages of the satellites launched to polar orbits from Vandenberg Air Force Base must end somewhere “nearby” (well, maybe more south). As there have been over seven hundred launches from there (see Wikipedia, entry Spaceports), there must be an area at the bottom of the ocean with lots of large tin cans. I wonder if there are there similar “rusticle-microbes” that could eat also aluminium and/or titanium as those that eat cast iron or steel?
