To wrap up National Geographic Week we take a sneak peek at, Citizens of the Sea Wonderous Creatures from the Census of Marine Life by Nancy Knowlton.
If you ever wondered how difficult it would be to count all the people on earth image how difficult it would be to count the millions upon millions of beings in the sea - some haven't even been named yet!
National Geographic Citizens of the Sea is filled with the unusual, weird and fascinating sea-life that's been discovered and accounted for. Did you know...about 230,000 marine organisms have names, a fraction of the millions of species believed to live in the sea?
Here's what you can look forward to in Citizens of the Sea;
1. Names & Numbers - Discover how underwater species are counted, named and how many different varieties
2. Appearance Are Everything - the art of disguise - blending in - deception
3. Sense & Sensibilities - light - sound - smell
4. Ocean Locomotion - frequent flyers - born to swim - taking the plunge
5. Settling Down and Growing Up - size matters - life in the fast lane - Methuselahs of the deep
6. There's No Place Like Home - hot as hades - cold as ice - life under pressure
7. Sea Food - fish farmers - oceangoing iguanas - food without sun
8. Best Friends - rooms and roommates - open wide - compete or cooperate
9. The More the Merrier - packs of predators - united we stand - queen bee of the sea
10. S*x & the Sea - choosing a mate - bullies and parasites - all together now
11. Deep Time - arms race - frozen in time - back from he dead
12. Dangerous Encounters - eaten alive - sea stingers - culinary disasters
13. For What it's Worth - megabucks - Neptune's pharmacy - inspired design
14. Bad News Good News - gone for good - at the brink - costly collapse - dissolving away
In addition to being packed full of information, Citizens of the Sea is also a hardcover book with 200 pages of gorgeous full-colour photographs looking at a world most of us will never have a chance to experience in real-life.

I don’t know of anyone who isn’t aware of the oil spill in the Gulf, but do you know how to do something about it? Though I live off the Gulf Coast, I felt removed from the situation… reading about the oil’s progression and tsk tsk-ing those who drag their feet in it’s resolution. So what can we do?
It takes someone like Kelly Light and her daughter to begin a movement!
They have created a blog called Ripple where you can purchase an Artist Trading Card and the donations will go directly to the cause. Each sketchcard on the blog is $10.00. The $10.00 is a donation to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. Every penny is donated. The two Non-Profits that are benefitting are The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center.
This crisis is so heart wrenching and it’s the innocent who are suffering! Please won’t you visit the Ripple blog and donate. If you are an artist perhaps you want to donate your work in the form of an art card. The information for doing so is on the Ripple blog.
I’ve created two cards. One will be on it’s way to a kind person in Hawaii on Monday the other, a sea turtle, will go up on the Ripple blog and will be for sale along with the other artist created cards.
Ripple A small sketch- a small donation-each small act helps!
