I was the teensiest bit concerned yesterday to discover that I'd missed the Fisheries Department notification of a Red Tide off Kota Kinabalu on 19th March 2008; perhaps it was the disorientation of having just arrived from Papua New Guinea? I wonder how many others heard it when it was announced. Some of you will remember the Red Tide off Sabah in early 2004; links to information about this and an ongoing problem in the Philippines can be found here. Perhaps like the Fisheries Department of Brunei, prayers are needed... Either way, Marufish produces regular satellite imagery for north Borneo including chlorophyll levels and sea water temperature: fascinating stuff!Anyway, here's a creature you're unlikely to try to eat: a feather-duster worm from the family SABELLIDAE taken on 19th May 2007 on the Pyramid off Mamutik Island.
