wild shores of singapore: Why we shouldnt pick up sea stars
Rated • 1 review • marine biology, environmental • blogspot.com
Although the study was done on the ochre sea star (Pisaster ochraceus) found in the intertidal zone along the Pacific North American coast, the sea stars on our shores may also rely on the same mechanism to stay cool during low tide.
Sometimes, when we pick up sea stars and sea cucumbers, they expel lots of water. This loss of water may possibly endanger the animals.
Another reason why we shouldn't pick up sea stars is that some may purposely drop their arms when they are stressed. Some sea cucumbers may also fall apart.

Project Seahorse: Advancing Marine Conservation

Project Seahorse 
Saving seahorses means saving the seas. Seahorses help advance marine conservation, serving as excellent flagship species for a wide range of marine conservation issues.
First, these intriguing fish are threatened by overexploitation (for traditional medicines, aquarium display, tonic foods and curiosities), accidental capture in nonselective fishing gear, and degradation of their habitats.
Endangered: Hippocampus capensis
Many seahorse species are included on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, primarily as Vulnerable and Data Deficient. The Knysna seahorse, Hippocampus capensis, from South Africa, is formally recognized as Endangered. Their biology may well make them particularly susceptible to over-fishing.

Canada Says Baby Seals Will be Clubbed `More Humanely'
Canadas government says it is imposing new rules to ensure seals are killed more humanely.
Ottawa has been heavily criticized for allowing hunters to shoot and club hundreds of thousands of seals to death each year.
Pictures of burly men smashing open the skulls of baby seals, sometimes causing a prolonged, painful death, has been a huge problem for the Canadian government.
Over 300,000 thousands seals are allowed to be killed in March and April, and are hunted for their fur and fat oil.
From now on, hunters will have to follow a three step process: After clubbing or shooting the seal, a hunter must check its eyes to ensure it is dead and, if not, the animals main arteries have to be cut.
Animal rights protestors argue there are not enough regulators to enforce the laws."

Top 10 Wildlife Conservation Organizations
"This list includes my favorite conservation organizations and details about why I think each is worth mention. This is a personal list, an inventory of the first ten organizations that come to mind when I donate my money to protect wildlife. There are many superb organizations, I'm certain this list could easily be lengthened. Still, if you're new to conservation or are looking for a well-established, reputable organization to join, this is a good starting point."
