Brooklyn: Dead whale found on the bow of MSC Meraviglia. Ships are the leading cause of death for whales. 20,000 a year are killed. There are measures available to decrease these deaths. Are shipping and cruise lines willing to implement them? ship-technology.com/features…
A whale arrived on bow of the MSC ship MERAVIGLIA Sat 5/4/24. The @USACE_NY vessel DRIFTMASTER removed it and took it to their debris barge in NJ. @amseasorg is reliable source going forward.
@gothamwhale in case this was in yr catalogue.

ICYMI: The sawfish that was the first-ever attempt to rescue one of the endangered species in an ongoing die-off has died. But wildlife officials say they’ll keep trying.
Wildlife officials have euthanized a rare sawfish rescued last month amid an extraordinary die-off after its condition deteriorated. Rescue efforts are ongoing...

SCOOP: Patrick Bainter, lead consultant for Florida Senate Republicans, admits to hiring disgraced ex-senator, and approving a dirty trick: a 2020 "ghost" candidate who helped oust a Democrat that had been a thorn in the side of Florida Power & Light.

We pump millions of gallons of pharmaceutical laden human waste into the ocean off South Florida daily and everyone is wondering why massive algae mats are smothering all the coral and fish are spinning around in circles and acting like Philly zombies #nature

This crisis emerging out of the Florida Keys is an alarming reminder of the water-quality crisis in Florida.
We haven't done enough to rein in the pollution that leads to water problems, like the destruction of an endangered species.

State regulators allow this to happen.
How can they be held accountable for the harm inflicted?
Here’s one sure way.
Have you signed and shared the constitutional amendment petition yet?

What we wonder about is the people on those huge ships. At least some of them might be concerned for the fragile beauty they see in the Keys. Do they realize that the way they got there harms that beauty?
The #FloridaKeys are home to countless endangered species — like the bottlenose dolphins seen here as they try to escape plumes of muddy water caused by a large cruise ship on the approach to Key West.

#Florida Keys could see larger cruise ships under new @FLDEPNews proposal, which goes to @GovRonDeSantis & and the Cabinet today. He & the Legislature blocked Key West voters from imposing restrictions on ships in 2021. subscriber.politicopro.com/a… via @bruceritchie

Cruise déjà vu?
Here we go again . . . 🫤
Carnival's iconic funnel is on fire again via @CarnivalCruise's Carnival Freedom #cruise (a/k/a fun) ship 🚢🔥👨🚒
Fortunately, no injuries reported so far.
Last funnel fire on the Carnival Freedom was less than two years ago . . . 🤔🎪

#Florida @GovRonDeSantis already overrode a popular vote against Key West cruise ships after receiving a campaign contribution from the pier operator -- now this. He works for his donors, not the people.
On Tuesday, Florida @GovRonDeSantis and elected Cabinet officers @JimmyPatronis @AshleyMoodyFL & @WiltonSimpson will vote on a recommendation by @FLDEPNews to authorize larger cruise ships at Key West’s Pier B Cruiseport, seen below, and extend the lease for 25 years.

We’re across the bay and very happy that by next summer we’ll be so much better off! We can see the black pollution coming out of the smoke stacks of these floating cities into our air and on to our bay, and onto the folks who live in Bar Harbor!
