…but is it? As I was trolling through blogs, I came to this entry from Oceana, Maya Lin’s “What is Missing?” project. All I have to say is wow. Click the link on the blog to go directly to the website, and then be prepared to be stunned, informed, and saddened at what is missing.

I watched in awe as each little dot came together into a story. As you peruse the site, you can click on dots for more information. I ended up with a video on sound overtaking the natural sound of the ocean. You might think it’s not a big deal, but then the statistics point out how the increasing decibels of various activities, like oil drilling, can devastate a sea population.

The site is new and has some glitches in navigation, but the information, science, and artwork seem to be superb.

So, in one respect, it is “just another Sunday,” with species diminishing all the time. And yet, it’s not “just another Sunday,” as life as we know it now is constantly changing and diminishing. This is a site well worth viewing.
