World Aquatic Animal Day

Did you know the ocean contains about a million different species?  Learn about marine life, visit an aquarium, or raise awareness about the  threats to the ocean.

Because (most) humans do not actually live underwater, it is easy to  forget the vast array and variety of aquatic animals that populate the  oceans, seas, lakes, and other bodies of water on our planet!

Aquatic animals may be vertebrates or invertebrates. They may breathe  air or extract oxygen through gills or the skin. And they may live in  either freshwater or saltwater. But no matter what their differences  are, one thing is for sure–aquatic animals deserve to be noticed and  appreciated!

World Aquatic Animal Day is centered around humans taking the time to  learn about and acknowledge the importance of all of these creatures  who make their homes in the water.

History of World Aquatic Animal Day

Created in 2020, World Aquatic Animal Day was created by folks over  at Animal Law Clinic at the Lewis & Clark Law School (Portland,  Oregon, USA) who wanted to bring attention to the importance of aquatic  animals to our societies and ecosystems. Widely used around the world,  aquatic animals are often at risk due to the interactions humans have  directly with the animals, or indirectly through the corruption of their  habitats.

In addition to ‘fish’, the category of aquatic animals includes a  variety of other creatures, such as mollusks, crustaceans, aquatic  birds, starfish, corals, aquatic insects, amphibians, marine mammals,  reptiles, and more.

The idea for World Aquatic Animal Day is to raise global awareness so  that humans all over the world would band together to create policies,  laws, education, and outreach that will help to protect these valuable  animals. The hope is to elevate the status of these creatures so that  people are more likely to take an active role in learning about and  acting on behalf of them. Different ideas for protecting these animals  continue to be featured, from plastic pollution to climate change  issues.

Many organizations throughout the world participated in the first  World Aquatic Animal Day in 2020, including Canada, Chile, Australia,  South Africa, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Croatia, Norway, Russia,  Switzerland, the United Kingdom and more.

The hope is that many more will join in for future days in the coming years. The more people who get involved, the better!

How to Celebrate World Aquatic Animal Day

Celebrating the animals under the sea is the idea of World Aquatic Animal Day, and there are tons of ways to do it!

Watch a Documentary about Sea Life  

Getting educated about aquatic animals doesn’t have to be boring.  Learning from film crews that have been deep-sea diving can be a  thrilling way to see, enjoy and appreciate the myriad of animals that  live in the water.

Try out these documentaries:

The Blue Planet (2001). First airing  on the BBC, this riveting series of shows gives a glimpse into life in  the ocean. It was filmed in more than 200 different locations over a  five year time period. And Sir David Attenborough’s voice over simply  makes the ocean seem that much more compelling.

Turtle: The Incredible Journey  (2009). This film uniquely follows the life of one sea turtle beating  the odds, from when she was hatched to facing the natural and unnatural  threats that occur in the life of such a creature.

Mission Blue (2014).  Featuring the life and work of Dr. Sylvia Earl, a marine biologist and  oceanographer, this documentary shows her life as it is dedicated to the  study of the ocean, having spent thousands of hours of time in its  depths.

Life in the Blue (2016).  Showcasing the extraordinary variety and range of life that exists in  the expanses of the ocean, this documentary specifically targets what  takes place just under the surface in a small band of 10 meter deep  water. Whether looking for shelter or hunting and foraging for food,  aquatic animals participate in a host of activities in this rather small  space.

Host an Under the Sea Party  

Get family and friends involved in raising awareness of the needs of  aquatic animals by inviting them over for a party that dives deep into  the theme. Make the place festive with sea-worthy decorations and play  tunes from a water-themed playlist (see below).

Serve snacks and desserts that stick with the theme of honoring  aquatic animals, including cupcakes adorned with gummy fish, goldfish  cheese or graham crackers, cookies baked starfish shapes or a veggie  tray organized in the shape of a rainbow fish.

Fruit treats are fabulous for sea-themed parties! Oranges can be  easily fashioned to create the look of an octopus by partially peeling  eight strips and then leaving them sticking out from the bottom. (Draw  on eyes with a non-toxic marker.) Apples can be creatively sliced to  appear as crabs, while banana halves can be adorned with an eye and the  stem cut to look like dolphins. And a watermelon can be creatively  carved to channel the look of a sea turtle!

Raise Awareness for Aquatic Animal Day  

Get others involved in the issues facing these creatures by holding  events at work, school, clubs or other places where the community  gathers. Make posters, host lecturers, or create a family-friendly  charity event where the money is raised to donated to underwater  wildlife funds. Don’t forget to use your voice to let government  representatives know about the need to protect these creatures by  writing letters to ask them for better rules, regulations, and laws.

Put Together an Aquatic Animals Playlist  

Getting into the groove of music is a great way to bring sea  creatures to the forefront of the mind–whether alone or at a party!  Gather some eclectic songs together in a playlist on Spotify or another  music hosting venue and jam in honor of the aquatic animals.

Try some favorite songs such as these, or come up with other creative ideas:

Too Many Fish in the Sea (1983) by The Marvelettes

Under the Sea (1989) Soundtrack from The Little Mermaid

Dead Sea (2012) by The Lumineers

Sea of Love (1959) by Phil Phillips

Across the Sea (1996) by Weezer

Only the Ocean (2010) by Jack Johnson

Deep Ocean Vast Sea (1989) by Peter Murphy

Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay (1968) by Otis Redding

Tall Thimbleweed, Anemone Virginiana

[little-noko]

Working on this line was quite the challenge as I wanted to make a litteral pancake crab limiting the shape of this little guy overal. In Canada we LOVE maple syrup so I thought a pancake mon would be very fitting for it~

#030 Flapcap | Ground/Fire Type The Pancake crab Pokemon

Flapcap are known to be delicious both for human and pokemon alike. While defenseless for the most part due to their squishy shells that has yet to harden, this pokemon spend it's time looking for a specific type of anemone to use as armor which can cause severe burn to anyone who dares to touch it. #031 Crustachef | Ground/Fire Type The Cooking crab Pokemon Now that it shell has hardened, this pokemon se he symbiotic relationship it has with it's anemone to cook anything it wants to eat, veggies, berries and even other pokemons are part of it's diet. Crustachef have voracious appetite and will not hesitate to cook it's own young if they are hungry enough.

Round 2.5 - Cnidaria - Hexacorallia

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

The anthozoan class Hexacorallia contains five extant (living) orders: Actiniaria (“sea anemones”), Antipatharia (“black corals” or “thorn corals”), Corallimorpharia (“false corals”), Scleractinia (“stony corals” or “hard corals”), and Zoantharia (“zoanthids”). This class contains many of the most important reef builders: the stony corals, sea anemones, and zoanthids.

Like all anthozoans, these organisms are formed of individual soft polyps which in some species live in colonies and can secrete a calcite skeleton. Some species live as solitary polyps. Hexacorals are distinguished from Octocorals by having six or fewer axes of symmetry in their body structure, and tentacles which are simple and unbranched and normally number more than eight. Reef-building or hermatypic corals are mostly colonial, building a communal skeleton around their colony. Corallimorphs are similar to the stony corals, except for the stony skeleton, and have a tendency to overgrow reefs in a carpet formation. Most sea anemones are solitary, single polyps attached to a hard surface by their base but some species float near the surface, or can deatach to escape predators.

Hexacorals are filter-feeding carnivores, using their tentacles armed with stinging cells, called cnidocytes, to catch and neutralize plankton and draw it into their mouth. Larger polyps are able to take correspondingly larger prey, including various invertebrates and even fish. Many species have separate sexes, the whole colony being either male or female, but others are hermaphroditic, with individual polyps having both male and female gonads. Most species release gametes into the sea where fertilisation takes place, and the planula larvae drift as plankton, but a few species brood their eggs. Once the larvae settle in an area, they will metamorphize into a polyp. In colonial species, this initial polyp will repeatedly divide to give rise to an entire colony. Hexacorals can also reproduce by fragmentation, where part of a colony becomes detached and reattaches elsewhere, cloning polyps to grow the colony in the new area.

Hexacorals have existed since the Fortunian. Mackenzia, from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale of Canada, is the oldest fossil identified as a sea anemone. Nonetheless, many hexacorals have been declining in numbers and are expected to continue declining due to poaching, ocean acidification and climate change.

Propaganda under the cut:

Hexacorals provide housing, shelter, food, and protection for so many other animals. They are The Givers of the Animal Kingdom.

The largest coral ever recorded, a Pavona clavus colony dubbed the “mega coral” lives off the Solomon Islands. It is 34m (112 ft )wide, 32m (105 ft) long and 4.9m (16 ft) high, larger than a Blue Whale, composed of nearly one billion polyps, and more than 300 years old!

Coral is loud. It can hear and it communicates with each other via sound. We’re only beginning to discover this information and understand the implications of it, and more research needs to be done, but the amount of noise-making humans do in the ocean tends to disrupt the communication corals have with each other and other reef life.

Black Corals have historically been used by Pacific Islanders for medical treatment and in rituals, and are used in modern day for making jewelry.

Sea anemones and zoanthids are popular in the aquarium trade, however, their popularity threatens some populations as the trade depends on collection from the wild.

In southwestern Spain and Sardinia, the Snakelocks Anemone (Anemonia viridis) is consumed as a delicacy. The whole animal is marinated in vinegar, then coated in a batter similar to that used to make calamari, and deep-fried in olive oil.

Most sea anemones are harmless to humans, but a few highly toxic species (notably Actinodendron arboreum, Phyllodiscus semoni and Stichodactyla spp.) have caused severe injuries and are potentially lethal.

Clownfish and Anemonefish (Subfamily Amphiprioninae) are most famous for having a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones, receiving protection from predators by hiding in the anemone's stinging tentacles, and providing the anemone nutrients in the form of faeces. Some other animals have been recorded utilizing sea anemones in a similar way, including cardinalfish, juvenile threespot dascyllus, incognito (or anemone) gobies, juvenile painted greenlings, various crabs (such as Inachus phalangium, Mithraculus cinctimanus and Neopetrolisthes), shrimp (such as certain Alpheus, Lebbeus, Periclimenes and Thor), opossum shrimp (such as Heteromysis and Leptomysis), and various marine snails. One of the more unusual relationships are those between certain anemones (such as Adamsia, Calliactis and Neoaiptasia) and hermit crabs or snails, where the anemones live on the shell of the hermit crab or snail, providing protection from predators while being provided with transportation. Another unusual relationship is between Bundeopsis or Triactis anemones and Lybia boxing crabs, where the small anemones are actually carried around in the claws of the boxing crab as little weapons.

Tall Thimbleweed

Anemone virginiana

This anemone is native to the United States and southern Canada, where its range extends primarily east of the Great Plains. Its common name originates from the cluster of pistils forming a thimble shape, and it can tolerate and grow in a variety of conditions. This particular plant was thriving in a partly sunny, moist area of the woods near a small creek.

Summer on the Deckers Creek Trail in Preston County.

From top: wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), whose fragrant odor permeates the trail in late July; downy skullcap (Scutellaria incana), an adorable perennial mint that clumps gregariously with wild bergamot; buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), easily identified by its pincushion-like flowers; Canada lily (Lilium canadense), which can be distinguished from the very similar Turk's-cap lily by petals that don't reflex past the flower's base; the elegant tall thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana), named after the thimble-shaped mound of pistils at the center of its flower; white meadowsweet (Spiraea alba), a lovely native spiraea that grows in damp meadows; and summer phlox (Phlox paniculata), also known as fall phlox, because it blooms prolifically from late July through September.

[roughentumble]

maybe canada anemone for ground cover, because it's hardy and spreads fast and its local to new york, and because it reminds wade and logan of home in canada. the raised beds can be The World's Littlest Garden

Anemone underside .. [1b / 2]

A sea anemone had plastered itself to the wall of the tank at the Aquarium. This is what it looks like from the other side of the glass. Toronto, ON.
