ROME — Nearly half of the wild-caught fish harvested globally could be used to produce feed for farmed aquaculture products by 2040 if the industry were to grow exponentially in line with a roadmap developed by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), according to a report published Sept. 4. The report was published by […]

A giant image carved into the Arizona desert,
one that border wall crews damaged earlier this year,
turns out to be far older than anyone realized.
The artwork, called the Las Playas Intaglio,
is a huge fish shape scratched into the ground on the ancestral homeland of the Tohono O’odham south of Ajo.
It stretches more than 170 feet long and 50 feet wide,
and for years, experts guessed it was about 1,000 years old.
Now they know they were way off.

New dating reveals artwork damaged by border wall is oldest geoglyph in the Americas
New research shows an Ajo archaeological site damaged by border wall crews predates Egypt's first pyramid by 2,000 years.

That, breaking out in hideous violence,
Would not afford you an abode on earth?
...
what would you think
To be thus used? this is the strangers case;
And this your mountainish inhumanity. "

A coral reef thought dead for 60 years is teeming with life
More than 60 years after surveys suggested a deep coral reef off Benin was probably dead, scientists have found it alive. Cameras revealed healthy-looking coral patches supporting multiple fish species more than 50 meters beneath the surface. The discovery suggests West Africa’s coastal waters may contain other overlooked reefs that have yet to be documented.
