What Is and Isn't a Fish: a List

A list of the animals I discussed in my fish essay, but for those who don't want to scroll through paragraphs of text to find out if an animal is or isn't a fish. Just CTRL+F your way through here!

I'll add onto here more animals whenever I get asked about them being fish. See my fish essay here!

Some notes before you proceed:

Yes, all tetrapods are fish! We are phylogenetically fish, as we are and our ancestors were lobe-finned fish! "Fish" in the phylogenetic sense is a paraphyletic group if you try to exclude tetrapods, so it is frankly impossible.

How come tetrapods aren't listed as fish then? Long answer, read my essay. Short answer, me and other fish accounts tend to operate on the morphological definition of fish, so does most of the world. Here I use the morphological definition of "fish".

POKÉMON IDEAS I NEED TO GET OUT:

Antlions

Fleas (fighting/bug, with a lot of kicking moves)

Anglerfish (that’s scary, unlike Lanturn)

More trees! Maybe a regional variant of Trevanaunt? Mangrove trees!

More. Snails.

Sand cat

Borzoi

Hares. Not bunnies. Hares.

Honeypot ants

Raccoons

Possums

Dolphin (but evil)

Shark (but cute!!)

Donkey (those mfs are vicious to coyotes- maybe make a coyote Pokémon for it to have beef with? Like a Seviper and Zangoose situation)

You know those fat round frogs from the desert? The potato fairies? Make a ground/fairy desert frog Pokémon.

Manatee (maybe ground/water or water/grass. You know because of the algae that grows on em)

Different variants of Applin? Like, what if the worm was inside different fruits?

A gargoyle themed Pokémon

Hear me out. A wyvern slug. With retractable legs.

Tropical variant of Flabebe!!

Cactus

Venus flytrap

Carnivorous plants in general tbh

Flatworm with a night sky aesthetic

Sea bunny!!

Cheetah (electric- maybe it generates electricity by resting in the sun, and using it up when it chases prey)

A haunted set of armor (maybe having a symbiotic relationship with honedge)

Gemstone Pokémon (rock/psychic)

Steel type anteater with razor sharp claws just like real life

A fairy/dragon type… maybe based off a dragonfly or a butterfly?

A peacock with psychic abilities it uses with its eyes in its tail feathers

An octopus that uses a clam shell as armor (like a slowbro situation where it’s two Pokémon in one)

That’s all I got for now, bye!

Kayaking in Miami

What will come to your mind when we talk about Miami? A popular image would be a beautiful golden beach stretching for miles with hot guys, right? More than a just a beach, this glamorous neighborhood is a place for those who seek inner calm, great relaxation and get back to nature by kayaking. Kayaking in Miami offers paddlers like you a wide variety of options, from the exciting open ocean to exotic mangroves. No matter whether you are a beginner or seasoned kayaker, Miami, a heaven on earth for paddlers, will welcome you to perfect sites for kayaking. It is time to let your hair down, and immerse yourself in top 8 most amazing destinations for kayaking in Miami. West Lake Park Located in the southeast of the Broward County, West Lake Park occupies a 3-mile strip of uplands and mangrove estuary. With over 47,000 feet of waterfront and extra 20,000 feet of the mangrove-fringed shoreline, West Lake Park is the biggest remaining ecosystem of mangrove from Miami Beach to the West Palm Beach providing both natural resources and recreational opportunities. The marina has rentals like stand-up paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks every day except Christmas Day. Infants and toddlers are not allowed to be on tours. If you prefer to launch your own kayak, there is a boat ramp that is open from 8 a.m to 6 p.m daily. Remember that motorized boats are not permitted here. Oleta River State Park When it comes to kayaking in Miami, it would be a big loss without mentioning Oleta River State Park. Located in the suburb of North Miami, it is the biggest urban park which is well-known for the off-road cycling trails for a complete novice to an experienced cyclist. Thanks to a beautiful mangrove forest, you will have a great chance to explore the local flora and fauna. You can rent kayaks from the park concession to paddle the river and breathe in the fresh air. Also, grills and picnic tables are available with 1 large picnic pavilion and 8 medium one. If you plan to make a night visit, Oleta River State Park offers a campground and air-conditioned cabins for groups. Thus, this destination is wonderful for a weekend family outing. Everglades National Park Do you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city? If yes, pack your bags and head to Everglades National Park. Once you come here, you will think that you are stepping into a haven surrounded by a mangrove forest, and immerse yourself in a slow pace of life in this swampland. There are endless opportunities for you to discover a diverse array of local wildlife here. Whether you choose to do it by kayak, bicycle, or on foot, keep in mind that the peak season is from December through Easter. When traveling in the park, it is highly recommended to bring a map and understand safety tips that you could ask the park rangers. Biscayne National Park On the tip of a peninsula, South Florida is surrounded by the unique beauty of nature – aquamarine waters, leafy green trees, and wildlife. Biscayne National Park can be considered as the confluence of flourishing and distinctive ecosystems with very long stretch long mangroves, birds, and juvenile fish. The best way to have interesting experiences here is through a guided canoe or kayak trip along the coast. Keep your eyes wide open and be amazed by manatee, dolphins, jellyfish, Cassiopeia, stingrays, and nurse sharks. Meanwhile, pay your attention to the seagrass on the hard bottom with sponges and soft coral. It is also the habitat for tulip snails, conch, stone crabs, and spiny lobster. South Beach Known as the American Riviera, South Beach is the icon of Miami. More than fine white sand, and the fantasyland, South Beach also gives you a mix of world-class stores, galleries, and boutiques. It is also a famous culinary hotspot from casual beachside to superb cuisine. The white sand, the crystal-clear blue water, and the skyline of Ocean Drive are a must-see for everybody, even the residents. It seems that the ocean will never get old, so kayaking is an ideal activity to take in the breathtaking sight. During your break, don't forget to check out some historic buildings, shops, museums, or sip haute cocktails at a fancy bar. Middle River in Fort Lauderdale Middle River is among top popular destinations for kayaking in Miami. Situated in Fort Lauderdale, it is an urban waterway circling Wilton Manors. Along the river, you will see a few stretches of undeveloped land and mangroves apart from stunning views of landscaping. It would be great if you have your own kayak, but don't worry in case you do not have time to prepare. You can rent one from the Richard Historical Park in Wilton Manors. Crandon Park There is no doubt that Crandon Park is a gift from heaven for beach lovers. This is a golf-course, tennis center, a beach, and nature center. Thus, this 800-acre public park is well loved by locals and tourists. Get here early because there are lots of things to do whether you go alone, with family or friends. If you want to have fun on the warm waters, rent some stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, or quad bike to discover the park landscapes full of seagrass, dunes, and mangroves.

Rookery Bay Learning Center See Undisturbed Mangroves

Rookery Bay Learning Center

Just 10 minutes from Marco Island, the Rookery Bay Learning Center is a 16,500 square-foot facility. Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is one of the few remaining undisturbed mangrove estuaries in the United States. The learning center has four research laboratories, a 140-seat auditorium, and a two story visitor center. The visitor center offers a variety of hands-on experiences. These include aquariums and interactive exhibits addressing ongoing research and stewardship within the reserve. There is also a nature store, gallery and picnic area.

The center has 3 "focus" tanks, one oyster tank, a seagrass tank, a 180 gallon marine life exhibit and a 2,300 gallon mangrove tank. The relatively new observation bridge, 1/2 mile "Snail Trail" and viewing platform encourage visitors to explore the surroundings. Visitors may see manatees, tarpon and even sharks when conditions are right. Visitors can experience a short walk through tangled mangroves, palms and oaks with resurrection ferns, bromeliads, and orchids growing in oak tree bark. The trail also winds past an old homestead dating back to post-Civil War times.

Rookery Bay is an area where rivers and streams meet the sea. It forms a unique habitat with a myriad of wildlife including 150 species of birds. Many threatened and endangered animals also thrive in this and the surrounding 10,000 island area of Southwest Florida.

Interesting Little Manatee Tree Snails Devour Algae

Eager for Algae I realized that I hadn’t posted any video in quite awhile, so I thought why not? Video isn’t my main means of expression, but some things are just better in a video, and this is definitely one of them. Every spring and summer I have quite a few of these little manatee tree snails (Drymaeus dormani) in my yard and around the house. Now don’t freak out, my gardening friends. These…

6 EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES FOR ADULTS

6 Earth Day Activities for Adults

Maybe you march, maybe you queue up the best science documentaries on Netflix. Either way, thanks Earth! Nickolaus HinesEarth DayApril 22, 2017 It’s been a rough year for planet Earth. Donald Trump compared climate change to believing the Earth is flat. A 7,200-gallon Mountain Dew spill had to be sucked from sewers. And it’s seemingly not getting much better.

Officially started in 1970 by U.S. Senator from Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day — aka April 22nd — was started as a grassroots celebration of our planet. “The American people finally had a forum to express its concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes, and air — and they did so with spectacular exuberance,” Nelson once wrote.

With that same spirit, here are six things you, an adult person who can literally do whatever you want, can do to celebrate Mother Earth.

1. March for Science

Show your support of science by marching in the March for Science either at the main event in Washington D.C. or at another sanctioned gathering near you (there are more than 500 recognized satellite marches, more than 300 are in the United States). Like to Women’s March on Washington, there will most likely be a large turnout of people peacefully supporting and encouraging progress and scientific endeavors

2. Hit the Beach While You Can

Hit the beach now, because according to the World Economic Forum, the oceans will have more plastic than fish by 2050. Pacifica Beach Coalition is hosting its 12th annual Earth Day beach party. It’s got everything you could ask for if you live near San Francisco: a beach clean-up, granola bar-making, food, and live traditional Celtic music.

3. Drink organic wine

Even if organic wine is partly just a marketing ploy and is one of the least-understood by consumers and most taken-advantage-of by shop owners, Earth Day is a great excuse to have a few too many.

NASA will feature Earth Day exhibits, hands-on activities and demonstrations, as well as talks from NASA scientists, April 21 and 22 at Union Station in Washington. 4. Party with NASA

Whether in the Nation’s Capital or at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, both locations will feature plenty of hands-on activities and demonstrations on why the best way the government’s space agency is the best organization to trust about saving the Earth. In Florida, you can do everything from test drive electric cars to learn from “master gardeners and pollinator specialists.” So there’s that.

5. Watch a Science Documentary on Netflix

There’s a wide array of docs at your fingertips. Whether you’re interested in space, physics, or bees, Netflix has something to satiate your science needs.

6. Unsubscribe!

Remove yourself from junk-mailing lists. We’re talking planet-harming snail mail, not the stuff clogging your email inbox. As prolific as junk email has come, more than 100 million trees are still sawed down just to make the paper for those ads and coupons no one even uses. Earth Day organizers states that the average adult has 41 pounds of junk mail stuffed into their mailbox each year, and 44 percent of that lands in the landfill unopened. Three consumer registries can help you cut down: DMAchoice, CatalogChoice, and 41Pounds.

On Earth Day, Apple Says You Can iMessage Your Way to a Better Planet

The easiest possible way to feel good about yourself this Earth Day.

Kastalia MedranoEarth DayApril 22, 2016

Today is Earth Day, a thing to which people always like to hitch a lot of symbolism and good will. Should you find yourself unwilling or unable to plant trees this afternoon or perhaps skewer some garbage with one of those garbage-skewering things, Apple has given you the easiest possible out.

Just keep on sending those iMessages, the company says soothingly in a new video. Every time you send one, the message is processed through the Apple Data Center, which is powered by 100-percent clean energy. Apple would like you to feel virtuous today.

I have nothing against Earth Day. Earth Day is rad. Using it as a marketing hook to get people to get out and do good things for the planet is totally fine, but this is a pretty meaningless move on Apple’s part. The video doesn’t actually accomplish anything or urge people to any sort of action; this is just Apple patting itself on the back for 45 seconds.

Apple has made a lot of overtures toward clean energy, some of them good ones. But it’s also been criticized for not doing as much as a company of its scope could be doing. A data center powered exclusively by clean energy is obviously very cool, but Apple could have tried a bit harder today.

What’s way more exciting than this feel-good but ultimately kind of empty video is Apple’s clean-energy initiatives in China, a country where clean energy is obviously not the highest of priorities. Apple plans to install two-plus gigawatts of clean energy there by the year 2020. Since so much of the company’s products are produced there, this seems like a way more meaningful step in the right direction

Everything We've Achieved Since the Very First Earth Day It's not all doom and gloom.

Cassie KellyClimate ChangeApril 22, 2017

Humans have maxed out the atmosphere’s carbon dioxide limit, destroyed the coral reefs, melted the polar ice caps, and even found a way to create earthquakes for the last drops of fossil fuel left in the ground. But it’s Earth Day, so we have to try to celebrate the victories. Here are some of the best moves we’ve made since the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970.

U.S. Policies

While the environment is less healthy than it was in the past, American policies meant to protect what’s left of it have come a long way since the first Earth Day.

The Clean Water Act, established in 1972, was the first law to ensure regulations for U.S. waters. In the same year, the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act was established to prevent ocean dumping.

The Clean Air Act, established in 1970, regulates emissions of harmful greenhouse gases. It’s the reason we no longer have deathly smog, like the cloud that killed 168 people in November of 1966.

The Environmental Protection Agency, established in 1970, is probably America’s greatest environmental achievement. It led to momentous federal research on air, land, and water safety and conservation, and coaxed policymakers to set standards to protect wildlife and human health.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973, is the only U.S. law that gives rights to wildlife. Because of this act, we’ve saved bald eagles, grizzly bears, gray wolves, humpback whales, manatees — and, thanks to global efforts, pandas!

Scientific Advancements

Fifty years ago, Americans had a feeling something was wrong with the natural environment — but they just weren’t sure what. Since then, science from multiple fields has overwhelmingly pointed at climate change as the culprit. Similarly, scientific breakthroughs have elucidated a lot of the other problems humans deal with day to day.

In 1995, Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina, and Sherwood Rowland won the Nobel Prize for their perseverance in studying ozone depletion. As early as 1970, Crutzen became the first scientist to notice that the ozone layer was depleting, linking this damage to nitrogen oxide released by aircrafts. In 1974, Rowland and Molina demonstrated that CFC gases, or freons, also damaged the ozone. Together, this research led to the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement to completely phase out the use of CFCs in refrigeration devices, aerosol sprays, and solvents. When Rachel Caron’s controversial Silent Spring was published in 1962, it sent scientists scrambling to link the use of DDT — the so-called “miracle” pesticide that was used everywhere to kill mosquitoes — to the rapid decline of bald eagle populations. In 1972, the U.S. government banned the use of DDT, and sure enough, by 2007, the bald eagle population made a full recovery. In 1999, a team of scientists found the connection between the rapid death of coral reefs and increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This notable study has sparked almost two decades of intense research on marine biodiversity. Although the reefs are still in grave danger, the original study has helped spark several movements aiming to save this vital part of the Earth’s ecosystem.

Cultural Movements

In response to many climate change disasters, such as sea level rise, increased drought and flooding, glacial melt, deforestation, and fossil fuel depletion, numerous large-scale organizations now exist to defend nature.

Greenpeace, founded in 1971, has quickly become one of the country’s leading environmental action groups. It’s known for its outrageous life-threatening stunts; its first — and still most notable — achievement was sailing a small boat into Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska, putting its passengers in harm’s way to stop nuclear testing in the area.

The U.S. Climate Action Network, also a huge proponent of environmental action, has worked with the United Nations to meet climate goals since the negotiation of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992.

The Ocean Conservancy, founded in 1972, has made significant progress in protecting the world’s oceans and is one of the few organizations that focuses solely on marine life. In the past 25 years, its volunteers have removed 144 million pounds of trash from beaches during the International Coastal Cleanup and have also derailed proposals to reopen international trade in sea turtle products, ending Japanese imports of Hawksbill sea turtle shells.

Green Tech

America’s eco-friendly technology has lead to the burgeoning renewable energy movement and may be just what the country needs to finally kick fossil fuels to the curb.

Electric Cars are disrupting the auto market for the first time since their inception. Today’s most promising zero-emissions cars include Elon Musk’s Tesla Model S, the Fiat 500e, the Chevy Bolt, the BMW i3, and the Mercedes B250e. Okay, America didn’t invent solar energy, but it is certainly getting better at installing solar panels nationwide.

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, 14.8 gigawatts’ worth of solar energy panels were installed in 2016, and nationwide, 42 gigawatts’ worth of panels are installed — enough to power 8.3 million homes. Also, about 260,000 Americans work in the solar industry.

American inventor John B. Goodenough designed the first lithium ion battery in 1980 — a rechargeable battery that’s now used in green tech such as electric cars, solar cells, boat motors, surveillance systems, and smartphones.

Tesla Model S charging up.

It’s not all doom and gloom: With a little government intervention, a few bright minds, and some crazy enough ideas, humans can succeed in saving the world we appear to be destroying. In the spirit of Earth Day, let’s focus on how far we’ve come and garner some optimism for where we’re going next.

Everglades Tours

Everglades Tours Is Fun and Different

While visiting Miami try to be a part of the Everglades tours. The place is filled with natural wilderness and wetlands. The exotic wildlife makes it anything but ordinary. If you are a fan of outdoor outings you are sure to fall in love with the charm of Florida Everglades. Everglades is abundant with natural parks suitable for hikers, bicyclers and even for a casual stroll.

Everglades Tours

Everglades is a haven for animal lovers especially with a wide range of options like bird watching, biking and taking a tram tour in the animal parks. The other fun activities include fishing, geocaching and other ranger programs. The ranger programs include off-trail hiking which will bring you into contact with the park’s exotic species. While you are planning for the Everglades tours, be a part of the boat tours. You are likely to get a good guide during you tour. The captains take the boats along the mangrove coast.

Additionally, walk along the road from Homestead to Flamingo. It is generally known as a “38 miles of nothing”. The road actually passes through the natural habitat. While you are here, you will explore fire-shaped pinelands, cypress, sloughs and mangroves. Additionally, at the Anhinga Trail Boardwalk, you will see alligators and other wading birds from close range. However, take a quick look at the other interesting things you can be a part of.

Shark Valley

While you are on your Everglades tours, Shark Valley is a must visit. The 15-mile road trip will lead you to a 65ft observation tower. Climb the tower in order to have a panoramic view of the park. You can spot alligators, turtles, snail kites up from this place.

Wilderness Waterway

It is to give you with the most unforgettable view of your life. Head towards west from Shark Valley, and visit the Ten Thousand Islands. It is actually a group of mangrove isles. It is perhaps the best place for canoes, kayaks, powerboats. Furthermore, the mangrove-lined creeks, lagoons, and open bays will provide you with beautiful background for your photos. You can also catch a glimpse of manatees, sea turtles. Bring your fishing net along with you as well.

Cypress National Preserve

Look for wading birds along the roadside canal, hike through the pinelands, and catch Red-Cloaked Woodpeckers, Bluebirds and Brown Nuthatches. Overall, your tour will be different and fun with this ambiance around. If you take a morning ride you may also rest your eyes on barred owl, wild turkey, bobcat and the Florida Panther.

Corkscrew Swamp

It boasts of having 13,000 acres of wetlands, pinelands, and cypress swamp. It is popularly known as the gateway to the western Everglades”. Have a glimpse of wild Florida by hitting this place. The trees in the swamp are the largest stand of old-growth cypress you will ever come across. The trees at the Sunshine State are almost 500 years old.

Sanibel

The best place to catch a glimpse of migratory birds like roseate spoonbills, yellow crowned night herons red-shouldered hawks. Additionally, pay a visit to the Matthews Shell Museum, both a research center and a museum. The museum hosts the finest shell collections on the earth. You can also take a boat ride from Sanibel to Key West.

Apart from these take airboat trips on Coopertown and Sawgrass Park. While you can also plan a ride from Flamingo, it can take your whole day. It will surely provide you with the best Everglades experience. Especially the boat ride through the mangrove swamps is worth paying for.
