Conscious Breath Adventures In spite of the possibility that the Japanese government might cut funding to subsidize "research" whaling, the fleet is headed out again...

Japan’s new Prime Minister, Yukio Hatoyama, ran his campaign partially on the promise to fight the waste of taxpayer money. Yet, a fleet of highly controversial, taxpayer-funded whaling ships has left port, headed toward Antarctica
Conscious Breath Adventures has an article here about a scientist who helped reduce ship strikes. Ship strikes are one of the greatest threats to North Atlantic humpback whales in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. These are the same whales that visit the Sanctuary for the Marine Mammals of the Dominican Republic, on the Silver Bank, where Conscious Breath Adventures operates. Thanks from the whales and CBA!

An East Wareham researcher this week will receive the US Commerce Department's highest award for his efforts to alter shipping lanes to minimize whale strikes.
Conscious Breath Adventures Here is an article that explains why saving the whales will save mankind at the same time. Not surprising, really, when you think about it. We are all mammals living together on the same planet. Different, yes, but similar, too...

The preservation of the whale and its environment has far reaching repercussions for humans.
Conscious Breath Adventures Here is another update on the possible end of funding for "research" whaling by the Japanese. This is a big story, watch for more information as it becomes available!

Japan ponders budget cuts that may limit whaling, but campaigners prepare to harass its fleets regardless.
Conscious Breath Adventures
wants to share this exciting and informative news story! It seems that Japan's new Prime Minister is looking for ways to cut government spending, and is going to recommend that funding be cut to the Overseas Fishery Cooperation Foundation, which in turn subsidizes the expensive "research" whaling fleet. This news comes... on the eve of Pres. Obama's visit with the prime tonight, where the subject of whaling is already on the agenda. Read this article!Read More

Conscious Breath Adventures Here is another informative article about ocean acidification, the "other CO2 problem", and how it may affect humpback whales and all marine ecosystems. Be aware of the issues, make personal choices to help, and support initiatives to curb the emissions of CO2. Urge our government to be proactive in Copenhagen!

Ocean acidification is dramatically changing the chemistry of our oceans and affecting sea creatures like the humpback whale. Is it too late to turn the problem around?
Conscious Breath Adventures is back from the DEMA show in Orlando. Great show, many miles of walking the aisles. Great to see all my diving friends there!
Conscious Breath Adventures In more science and whale research news, scientist are are working on a way to develop a non-invasive pregnancy test for whales by measuring levels of the whales' sex hormones found in the mucus exhaled from their lungs when they blow. How do they collect the specimen? With ladies' nylon stockings (but I'm guessing fishnets are out!)!

It's a neat way to sample sex hormones from the spout of air, water and lung mucus that whales blow into the air as they surface to breathe
Conscious Breath Adventures A group of researchers using techniques used to study bird songs have discovered that male humpback whales sometimes sing duets, with individual songs changing in response to the presence of another. I wonder how that discovery applies to the humpbacks on the Silver Bank, where dozens of singers are present on any given day?

Conscious Breath Adventures In my last posting, I linked to an article discussing the question of the impact of whales on climate change. In this article, you will learn about the effect that climate change has on whales. Which group, man or cetaceans, will suffer more in the short term? Long term?

ScienceDaily (May 23, 2007) Whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans) are facing increasing threats from climate change, according to a new report published by WWF and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.
Conscious Breath Adventures Are whales carbon neutral? We all know that livestock are carbon negative, what about whales? Here is an interesting article about the effect of sperm whales on the level of atmospheric carbon.

New estimates suggest the feeding habits of sperm whales help take in carbon.

Conscious Breath Adventures Here is a link to a story in the New York Times about the Japanese reaction to the screening of "The Cove" at the Tokyo International Film Festival on Wednesday. The showing at the TIFF is one of the first times that the public of Japan has been informed of the Tajii dolphin fishery, and is an important first step in moving toward change from within Japan.

On Wednesday, Japanese moviegoers got their first glimpse of “The Cove,” an American documentary that used hidden cameras to film dolphin hunts off the seaside town of Taiji.
