Travel with a guitar – different worlds, space, ocean
And this is music drawing based on performance Michael Schenker from 80s. From a videotape. First track. And at once – into the journey. Amongst the stars. A big space. Into the ocean. Captain Nemo. Instrumental piece. Mysterious.

Sign the petition to halt deep-sea mining projects and demand stricter global protections for the ocean.
Let’s keep the pressure on.

- Seaspiracy-
In short: US companies can apply for #mining rights in international waters, essentially bypassing international environmental regulations and protections meant to safeguard the ocean. This is a huge step towards the industrial #exploitation of the #DeepSea, which remains one of the last pristine frontiers on Earth.
And it’s not just a legal technicality, this is an environmental disaster in the making!

"team on board #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s R/V Falkor (too) rapidly pivoted their research plans to study an area that was, until last month, covered by ice... they observed the #DeepSea for 8 days and found flourishing ecosystems at depths as great as 1300m. Their observations include large #corals and #sponges supporting an array of animal life, including #icefish, giant #SeaSpiders, and #octopus"

"they confirmed a century-old hypothesis about deep-sea #fish evolution involving two distinct pathways. 'Ancient survivors' colonized the deep sea before the #Cretaceous mass #extinction, while 'new immigrants' account for the majority of modern #DeepSea species that emerged after the #MassExtinction."
#DeepSea #Fish of Nightmares Strays Into Shallow Waters
While on shark research expedition, about 2,000m off coast of Tenerife in the #CanaryIslands, which are part of #Spain. Marine biologists said they captured the first images of a live adult black seadevil #anglerfish.
One positive for nervous swimmers planning a trip to the Canary Islands: The fish is only about six inches long. It also has a less scary alternative name: humpback anglerfish.

Thank you #ludovicoeinaudi for your support to protect the #deepsea
Vor dem Konzert in der Olympiahalle in #München haben wir Unterschriften zum Schutz der #Tiefsee gesammelt.
Die Veranstaltung war mit 11000 Besuchenden ausverkauft - so konnten wir mit vielen Menschen ins Gespräch kommen
Die Tiefsee – eine Wunderwelt am Meeresgrund. Doch die #Tiefseebergbauindustrie wartet nur darauf, den Meeresboden mit riesigen Maschinen umzugraben
Hilf uns die Tiefsee zu schützen
