May 10 at 9am Update:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has announced that N.C. Highway 12 is currently closed from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Rodanthe due to ocean overwash that occurred overnight. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect from Duck to Buxton through Thursday morning, May 12, 2022.

Overwash along portions of N.C. Highway 12—particularly on Hatteras Island—may continue to occur through at least Wednesday evening, May 11, 2022, according to the National Weather Service at Newport/Morehead City.

Ocean overwash is most likely to occur within several hours of high tide, and flooding could become progressively more impactful with each high tide cycle for the next several days. Motorists should avoid travel on N.C. Highway 12 on Hatteras Island. If travel is necessary, proceed with extreme caution and give way to road crews working to clear hazards.

As travel plans are made, keep in mind that ocean water, sand and debris can easily damage a vehicle and that other hazards—including significant road damage—may be hidden by flood waters.

For real-time travel information, visit DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
