We all love Google Earth (at the very least, in a weird, looking-over-your-shoulder way).  Well, now sea creatures can also feel that they’re being watched: Google Earth has filled in the vast blueness, allowing users to dive in and have a look around.  According to this excellent Dot Earth post, users can also access all kinds of media and information, such as videos of hydrothermal vents, where and what kind of seafood is being unsustainably harvested, and the tragedy of marine dead zones.  Andrew Revkin, the author of Dot Earth, also discusses a vital question: might Google Earth, with its inclusion of our oceans, spur people to action when it comes to saving our seas?  He’s looking for your thoughts – post them on the Dot Earth blog!
