Some beaches closed in France due to oil pollution.

Sewage warning signs at Cobo

2009-11-29T14:49:11Z

I noticed yesterday that there were signs up at Cobo warning of
possible sewage pollution on the beach. Today we have SW winds gusting
F.9. Is this likely to result in any significant quantities of
contaminated water blowing inland?

Re: [CIEnviron] Icy cold but melt down in Antartica causing two foot rise in sea levels soon!

2009-11-23T15:11:47Z

Hi there,
In Antarctica melting ice every year of hundreds of billions of tonnes of water will affect the climate soon by causing changes in salinity in the world oceans causing a flip in the North Atlantic Conveyor and ice ages in Europe in winters to come due to the climatic changes which will work in tandem with predicted changes in the underwater volcanic activity worldwide causing emissions of mountains of ash and pollutants to blanket out the sun causing global dimming as happened around Europe in the 1780's causing the failure of European farming harvests meaning lack of food causing the famine leading to Marie Antoinette at Valognes in Normandy near Jersey tell her advisors who knew her brother was the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in Austria Leopold II to ask the peasants to request cake to eat in the place of bread.

Re: Juvenile Sea Hares

2009-11-21T23:14:34Z

About 5 years ago - around early march or February, I saw loads of
juveniles at La Fret point off Ouasnie, I think I went down a few
weeks after and saw none at all, been back in following years but not
seen any, did not go this year.

Strange how they sort of disappear from certain areas.

Re: Juvenile Sea Hares

Yesterday I can across this juvenile sea hare (Aplysia punctata) among some Zostera in Grouville Bay, Jersey. It is just 2.6cm long (when contracted) and seemed curious of my camera, making several attempts to climb onto the lens. Given the number of sea hares that were seen earlier in the year and the amount of egg spawn they produced, it is perhaps not surprising that there should be juveniles about but I cannot recall having seen any on the shore before. I would be grateful to hear of any similar sightings.

harbour/common seal

2009-11-17T15:54:29Z

A harbour or common seal was seen and photographed by Malcolm Sim at St
Catherine's, Jersey, on 8th November. Following the excitement of the
baby seal in Jersey just before this, the observer didn't immediately
realise that the animal may have been the first of this species for
Jersey. Malcolm did identify the animal as a harbour seal at the time
