If you sea something, say something.

Fishermen are being instructed to kill an invasive, predatory fish with the potential to devastate local ecosystems.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is warning folks to be on the lookout for the northern snakehead, a marine animal indigenous to Asia that has been spotted in US waters.

As its name suggests, the snakehead, which grows up to 3 feet in length, can slither onto land and survive for days by breathing in air. It also features a python-like color pattern, differentiating it from the similar-looking native bowfin. 

“They’re aggressive predators, preying on native species, and competing...

I’ve got a bone to pick with Steven Spielberg. His 1975 blockbuster “Jaws” made sharks out to be crazed, maneating monsters, tapping into a near-universal fear of what lies beneath the vast ocean. With one film, Spielberg put so many people off swimming in open water forever, that it’s a wonder that anyone still does it.

There's been a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in Northwest Georgia over the past 30 days. And, yes, some of it likely has been in the barn.

On land, those who lurk in the dark with the intent to steal you blind and beat you down are called muggers or thieves. Offshore, they’re called tuna. Every species of tuna is genetically engineered to spend most of its days and nights swimming in one of two ways: fast to earn a meal or faster to avoid becoming one. Most tuna hunt and feed in schools, ravaging whatever herds of hapless forage crosses their paths. The behemoths of the bunch, the bluefins, welcome company around the table but are equally comfortable dining alone.

Some tough news is coming out of Washington as multiple companies across the state have announced significant layoffs. It seems like an array of sectors is feeling the pinch, with the McKinley Paper Company being the latest to join this unfortunate trend. They've recently filed a WARN notice, indicating that 190 employees at their Port Angeles facility will be permanently laid off by August 25. This company, known for its environmentally friendly, high-tech mills that produce 100% recycled paper, is just one of many facing such drastic measures.
