Alaskan for Sustainable Fisheries Send SOS. By Celia Alario, HuffPost, September 9, 2009. "Alaska's commercial fishermen.... marked Labor Day weekend... [by] sending an 'Acid Ocean SOS' made of bodies, boats and buoys on the waters off Homer Alaska. More than 100 fishing boats, sail boats, skiffs and kayaks took to the waters Sunday to draw attention the threat of ocean acidification. The boats arranged themselves in the ocean to spell out 'Acid Ocean SOS' as part of a 'Voices for the Ocean' event hosted by the Alaska Marine Conservation Council (AMCC) and Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) with International Aerial Artist John Quigley (www.SpectralQ.com). The weather seemed to be on their side, and this compelling video shows a parting in the dense fog revealing their action."
