The frequency and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HAB) are escalating in seas and oceans globally due to climate change and other factors such as increased nutrient inputs (nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities. HAB are primarily composed of dinoflagellates (single-celled organisms with two flagella) common in marine and estuarine environments. Many HAB contain natural toxins that cause a variety of poisonings in humans (e.g. diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning, and ciguatera poisoning). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1639153832163-4IZCYBE1E3P8BQG1JS1Q/thumbnail_IMG_5782.jpg Climate Change - Dinoflagellate 2 - Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning Catalogue Number: EGM-180 Oil on canvas (12x12”)©Eugene G.

Maurakis, Ph.D. 2016. Poseidon, armed with his trident and boulder, fights back ocean acidification intruding the realm of the sacred. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in ocean waters and forms acid, thus changing the ocean chemistry, and reducing the pH of the oceans. The oceans absorb about 22 million tons of carbon dioxide every day, which is 33% (one-third) of the total carbon dioxide emissions of 6,870 million metric tons created by humans in 2014 (USEPA, 2014). For the past 300 million years, the pH of the oceans has been about 8.2 (slightly basic). Over the past two centuries, ocean pH has decreased to 8.1, a 25% increase in the acidity of seawaters (NGS, 2016).

The animated film, based on a series of 10 oil paintings, focuses attention to the tidal wave of plastics saturating our seas and oceans and their impacts on environmental health and potentially human health. Plastic Oceans features new research indicating that algae, as well as carcinogens (PCBs, DDT, and other pesticides) attach to microplastics. The concentrated odor of algae encrusted on microplastics attracts fishes, which eat the algal-covered microplastics coated with toxic-chemicals. No longer can we contaminate the natural world with plastics because of their convenience, which has promoted our inattention to their harms to marine animals and food webs. Now is the time to act and change our behavior.

Maurakis, Ph.D. 2016. Νηρηΐδες (one of the 50 Nereides sea nymphs) symbolizes all beauty of the sea. The multicolored oil paint dabs represent the millions of small plastic particles, lost or discarded fishing nets, and a myriad of other items found in the center of all major ocean gyres (circular ocean currents) on Earth. About 80% of these items are derived from land-based human activity (USEPA, 2011). The littering of the ocean with plastics and other items was the original intent of this oil painting. However, after a couple of days of painting Nereides and the “plastic gyre,” the artist was inspired by reports of 61 meters (200 ft.) of fishing nets wrapped around the fluke of an 80-ft blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California on June 28, 2016, where attempts to disentangle it were unsuccessful. Adapted from a 5th century BCE Apulian red-figure pelike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1725463708850-M2YYI1AWCUL0CSJQ9GA7/RED+TIDE+2021+thumbnail_IMG_8202.jpg Seascape of the 21st Century - Red Tide Catalogue number EGM-217; Oil on canvas (36x48”)©Eugene G.

Engraulis mordax (California anchovy) and other fishes and organisms smell and eat the algal-covered microplastics coated with toxic-chemicals, which move up the food chain to humans. We do not yet know, however, the full effects of these ingested chemical laden microplastics on human health as we have just begun to study this human health risk. https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/active-surveillance monthly 0.5 2020-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1585414037097-NNG29GNLP9Y0KM4GD3WN/IMG_4618.jpg Metamorphosis - Active Surveillance https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/i-do-not-ask-for-much-from-others-but-am-asking-you-to-read-and-watch-please monthly 0.5 2020-03-21 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/convergence-sea-earth-sky monthly 0.5 2020-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1580690126186-RL5P6N1547U0OS5D0L74/CIMG0386.JPG Metamorphosis - Convergence: Sea, earth, sky Aegean Sea at the Cycladic island of Tinos during research trip in 2006. https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/our-lives-in-strata monthly 0.5 2020-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1580691110709-6SHOIVH69S9PZ8LXK169/CIMG0389.JPG Metamorphosis - Our lives in strata Carving in rock strata on beach near village of Panormos on Cycladic island of Tinos during research trip in 2006. https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/tag/Greek+cuisine monthly 0.5 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/tag/art monthly 0.5 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/tag/storytelling monthly 0.5 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/tag/science monthly 0.5 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/meta/tag/research+expeditions monthly 0.5 https://www.eugenemaurakis.com/research daily 0.75 2022-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2f82e4dd586a5a56385f46/1654094026751-X8567G8UUWNVEVTA72EE/Capture.JPG Research - ROCK STARS Bluehead chub (Nocomis leptocephalus) and nest associate species.
