BIOlOGISTS from the Washington State Fish

and Wildlife Department have found a crate

of live tropical beaksh inside a bait box of

a boat which had dried across the Pacic

Ocean from Japan to the United States.

The boat containing the sh, who appeared

unharmed and healthy, washed up on shoreand is believed to be part of a de of debris

from the devastang 2011 earthquake and

tsunami in Japan which crossed the ocean.

In addion to the beaksh, the boat also

contained several species of Japanese

anemones, scallops, crustaceans and worms.

However, with the excepon of one sh

that will soon go on display at the Seaside

Aquarium, the enre shipment of animals

were euthanised to avoid the risk of

introducing an invasive species to the state.

Invesgaons revealed the sh survived the

long trip at sea due to the boat driing withits bow up, with the stern (where the sh

were being kept) under the waters surface,

with enough space for the sh to escape long

enough to go, nd food and return home.

Cruise to the disputed zonesChINA will soon begin operang cruises to

a region of disputed islands known around

the world as the Paracels and all territorially

claimed by China, Vietnam & Taiwan.

According to Chinese newspaper Xinhua, the

Haihang Group ship company has constructed

a 47,000 tonne vessel with capacity for 2,000passengers is ready to sail touring cruises, and

another ship is being built.

The rst tours will take place next month,

with passengers eang and sleeping on the

boat and vising the island for sightseeing.

Carnival CEO critic responseThE head of Carnival Cruises, chairman and

CEO Micky Arison has met with a US Senator

known for his vocal cricism of the cruise

industry following recent incidences involving

the Costa Concordia and Carnival Triumph to

reassure him that his vessels are safe.

In a ten-page leer to the Senator, Arison

referred to 90 examples in the last ve years of

reports made to US Coast Guard authories by

Carnival brands of an incident on-board, saying

83 of them were classied as Not Serious,

according to Federal Regulaons.

The remaining seven included both the Costa

Concordia incident, Carnival Triumph, a similarsituaon on Carnival Splendorin 2011, some

medical evacuaons, two ship collisions that

resulted in no injuries and a guest who jumped

o a ship and had to be rescued.
