Is the ocean broken?

Ocean acidification risks deep-sea reef collapse

Hundreds of metres below the surface of the ocean in Southern California, researchers measured the lowest—therefore the most acidic—pH level ever recorded on living coral reefs. The corals were then raised in the lab for one year under the same conditions.

Scientists observed that the skeletons of dead corals, which support and hold up living corals, had become porous due to ocean acidification and rapidly become too fragile to bear the weight of the reef above them.

The findings complement recent evidence of porosity in tropical corals, but demonstrate that the threat posed by ocean acidification is far greater for deep-sea coral reefs.

 

Just the heater not the boat.

 

Congratz! Hoyt, nice put put.

Ah! Well, there are many fiberglass hulls free for hauling away on that list I can't think of the name of this minute.

Craig's list.

 

Thanks. This one is Covfefe II.
It's only 15" longer and 22" wider than the skiff.

 

So, you did buy the boat?

 

Sure did. Signed, sealed and delivered.

 

Double congratz!

When do you begin modifications?

 

Skiff is now a rowboat/tender.

 

Modifications:
Added trolling motor from Covfefe I.
Needs mirror.

 

Medium Center Console with Forward Seating https://marineproducts.net/medium-center-console-forward-seat/

A forward seat hiding a portapotty. A rain slicker jacket, put on backward like a barbershop bib, would hide privates of who ever was sitting pants down. Don't buy it, but you could modify your existing console.

 

We have a lugaloo.

 

Just teasing. I know how much you enjoy making improvements.

 

It is hard to improve on such a well designed boat as this one.

 

We did a lot of comparing to other models before deciding on this one.

 

very nice hoyte
