Dear Friends

Thank you for signing and sharing the petition!  Today is World Ocean Day so here is a video of some of the species in the Irish Sea below which a giant heat sink is planned for hot nuclear wastes.   The video is from Marine Science Ireland and shows "a bed of Lophelia pertusa (or rather Desmophyllum pertusum) in Irish waters around 800 m depth. Note the two colour morphs – white and orange – they are both the same species. You can easily see how these reefs create habitat for smaller organisms and why they are so important to deep-sea biodiversity."
