Professor Martin Schreibman says our oceans have been overfished beyond repair. If we're going to keep eating fish and chips, tuna tartare, and all those omega-3 fatty acids, we may have to rely on aquaculture. Schreibman is working to bring those fish farms into the city. Urban aquaculture? We'll bite.

Marine turtles dig their nests on the sandy beaches of the tropical and subtropical zones of the planet. As soon as they are laid, their eggs are under attack from many predators, such as human beings who eat them or crabs that make holes in them. In recent years, the small turtles have also been threatened by global warming with rising sea levels and the increase in extreme climatic events (such as storms, hurricanes, and cyclones). In essence, little by little, beaches are becoming either eroded or flooded. Nevertheless, the marine turtles survived the previous glacial ages by modifying their migration routes and choosing alternative nesting sites. However, this ability to adapt might not be enough this time as their environment is changing much too quickly and the potential nesting sites are either already occupied or destroyed by human infrastructures.

Walruses are large marine mammals with flippers that live in certain regions of the Arctic Ocean. Their way of life requires a layer of very thick ice to support the weight of the groups of individuals (which weigh on average one ton), and shallow waters enabling them to reach their favourite shellfish. Unfortunately, global warming is modifying their environment and with higher temperatures, the fragments of pack ice melt are becoming thinner and shrinking. The smaller patches of ice drift away from the shallow waters and as walruses are not good swimmers, they are deprived of an important amount of their food.

Taken from the children's book with DVD, this film is a compilation of some of the funny clips we found in our library. Using animals whose names start with the letter they play with, the DVD is filled with fun and frolic! The book is currently for sale in Dutch and we are working on other language versions and looking for publishers and distributors.

Highland folds on the loose Exciting to meet these hairy highlanders but it’s a little to much when a couple of tons approaching you in high speed. Djurgården in Stockholm is royal ground. Highland cattles are hired as lawnmower, as to say. About the music A big, big thanks to Mokrane Akim Gilles, to let me use his music on the movie. The album: In the moment, can be heard and downloaded at jamendo.com, direct link: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/21443 You have to have an account, but that’s easy and free.

Bande annonce du film : "PERCHE, SANDRE, ET AUTRES PERCIDES" (Réal : Nicolas Dupuis et Bertrand Lenclos/ Prod : Nokill, durée: 52 minutes) La perche a toujours été présente dans les eaux françaises, ce qui en fait le plus célèbre de nos percidés. Mais elle n’est pas la seule représentante de cette famille. Il faut aussi compter avec la grémille, plus rare, l’Apron, menacé d’extinction, et enfin le sandre, qui fait son apparition dans nos rivières dès la fin du 19 ème siècle. A l’occasion d’une partie de pêche à Strasbourg, Nicolas Dupuis, guide-moniteur implanté en Alsace, évoque avec son ami Cédric Clauss sa saison passée à traquer le sandre et la perche en France : pêche au vif, à la tirette, au leurre; toutes les techniques sont mises en œuvre pour leurrer ces poissons fantasques et difficiles. De son côté Mathieu Dupuis, le frère de Nicolas, s’intéresse aussi aux percidés. Mais, en naturaliste passionné, il préfère les observer, plonger avec eux, et étudier leur comportement plutôt que de les pêcher. Ces deux approches permettent de dresser un bilan des connaissances acquises, sur les percidés, mœurs, biologie et mode de pêche. Un film varié, riche en images sous-marines, avec de nombreuses attaques en direct qui ravira tous les amoureux du sandre et de la perche.

Amazing lobsters.
