Friends on the list,

Apropos of Phil's mention of acidification of the oceans: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/21/science/oyster-shells-are-an-antacid-to-the-oceans.html?src=rechp&_r=0

Quick response to the article: Cute approach to serious global problem, not sure about the utility of such a local countermeasure, and mostly doubtful about the (attractive) photograph's caption "Different species of oyster"
