Jennifer Jacquet is a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Daniel Pauly and the Sea Around Us Project at the UBC Fisheries Centre.

This weekend, the BBC ran the first-ever photograph of a coral eating a jellyfish:
If that doesn't suffice it for 'cool', there is always the blobfish, hauled up from the depths:

I'd love to see some semi-spoofy ads for "saving the oceans" that feature organisms as revolting as this one. I'm sick of cute animals, and think the public would find it funny.

a few years ago when over fishing became news the New Yorker magazine ran a good cartoon on that subject.Old Greasy Mouth was now served up as "deep sea sun fish" and the Spikey Lump was sold as "azores trout"..or something like that,i think Roz Chast did it.
