Aloha friends, Ocean Network has gone through a difficult few months with the loss of our friend, CEO and sustaining investor Ken Sanders. As we have looked at our options, it has become clear that we can no longer afford to continue streaming our content on our Roku channel and online. For the time being, our videos will not be available while we work to reorganize and secure additional funding. We appreciate your support of Ocean Network and hope to rebuild and return better than ever.

We imagine an ocean teeming with life from shore to shore. But that's not always the case as fertilizer runoff creates dead zones. http://www.livescience.com/47274-dead-zones-in-united-states.html

Dead zones are more widespread across the globe than most people realize.

A young ocean ecologist has already contributed to our understanding of invasive lionfish, as part of a sixth-grade science fair competition.
http://www.npr.org/2014/07/20/333192387/sixth-graders-science-fair-finding-shocks-ecologists

Florida-native Lauren Arrington discovered that invasive lionfish, which usually live in the ocean, could survive in nearly fresh water. The 12-year-old's experiment blew away professional scientists.

Learn how to spot rip currents and what to do if one drags you away from shore.

Rip currents are fast, powerful channels of water flowing away from the beach and out past the breaking waves. And before you realize it, you can get dragged out far from the shore.

Sea World has come under a lot more scrutiny lately and for good reason -- their treatment of orcas endangers both the marine mammals and their trainers. https://www.thedodo.com/recently-spotted-103-year-old--547381307.html?xrs=RebelMouse_fb

SeaWorld could be in trouble because of “Granny,” the world’s oldest known living orca. The 103-year-old whale (also known as J2) was recently spotted off Canada’s western coast with her pod -- her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But while the Granny sighting is thrilling for us, it…

Michael Bublé, please find another place to visit the next time you feel like travelling. People in Hawaii are serious about protecting our honu (green sea turtles). So when tourists come and mess with them, we can get pretty angry. It's also a crime as these creatures are protected by the Endangered Species Act and under Hawaii state law. That was NOT a funny story!

One of the ugly but often unnoticed side effects of carbon pollution is that our oceans are turning more acidic. As our atmospheric CO2 has recently exceeded 400 parts per million from observations at Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island, we're also beginning to see the effects on sea life. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20140430_oceanacidification.html

NOAA-led researchers discover ocean acidity is dissolving shells of tiny snails off the U.S. West Coast

The worldwide consumption of fish has led to declining stocks as super-trawlers search for new species to exploit. From 'Chilean Sea Bass' to 'Hake Loins', the marketing of fish doesn't tell the whole story of what is happening beneath the waves. http://priceonomics.com/the-invention-of-the-chilean-sea-bass/

What do you get when you mix overfishing and foodie culture? An exercise in branding.

The indiscriminate use of sonar is an ongoing problem for marine mammals.

Authorities are all but certain Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went down in the south Indian Ocean in water that may be as deep as 23,000 feet. That makes finding the all-important "black box" flight data recorder infinitely more difficult, and a job perfectly suited to the U.S. Navy's tow fish.

Hawaii has been one of the first states to ban plastic bags, reducing the ongoing pollution of the Pacific Ocean. Let's hope the rest of the world follows our lead.

The scope of our ongoing problems with marine debris have been highlighted by the search for the missing airliner. Search and rescue crew members have compared the search for airliner debris among all the other debris in the ocean to a search for a needle in a needle factory.

Two weeks after Flight MH370 disappeared, one thing has been made clear: the ocean is full of garbage.

25 years after the invention of the internet, we can sit at home and watch sharks swim across oceans tracked by satellites. One shark in particular, Lydia, may be the first tagged great white shark to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

A fascinating story on Hawaiian fishing practices “You gotta know the ocean, and the reef, and the tides, and the way the water moves over the rock. And you gotta know the waves; count and time the waves. You gotta know the fish; see the fins pop up, the color under the water, how they move.” -- Kelson Kihe, on throw net fishing. http://ediblehi.com/to-catch-uhu-hawaiian-fishing/

by Kainoa Horcajo “Stay low. Crouch down. Look the a`ama crab, how it moves on the rocks. You gotta be the a`ama, move like the a`ama.” Today we call it biomimicry, mimicking other parts of nature to solve our human problems, but to a people who survive off their connection to the ocean and the …
