Dear Marcus

Regarding this Day after Tomorrow, I believe that things might be really
softer: if, for example, the Gulf stream went to stop south of Greenland,
the only major effect might be, in Europa, a kind of Canadian climate ( the
land of ice, wet, stormy, rainy etc. as says Ross). I.e: more snow and
mosquitoes ???
More clouds ? Good thing! The sun is raging these years, and not only in the
southern hemisphere. I suspect this good old ozone layer is not more very
fat, except around the equator.

An other interesting feature might be our lovely shelly beaches sunk under
10m of water at low tide.
Then, Littorinidae at the first floor of Big Ben? What about Venezia,
Sanibel, etc.?
Any volunteer to build a house near the seashore for further generations?

Thanks Marcus, to advise us to save a max of infos on collected shells,
anyone here may have bad stories like yours.
My Med Sea is close to doom. Fishes and shells disappear (eating a fish in a
littoral taberna today is an extremely expensive way of feeding ; the last I
ate three years ago was a ridiculous thing that I had exchanged against
something like 25 USD. You have a good shell for this price, no?).
Look at the animals which come into your plates: less and less pelagic
species, more and more benthic fishes.
So what? there's nothing more between the bottom and the surface ? And after
? And the day after ?

So now three questions:
What about shrimp farming vs littoral vegetation (mangrove etc.) ?
What about the pelagic population off Terra Nova? I heard it vanished?
What is this stange cyan-to-cobalt colour in all these little fishes which
have usually a <underscored>white</underscored> meat when cooked?
It gives to dishes a nice appearance.
