The saw is a formidable weapon of offence, by means of which the fish tears pieces of flesh off the body of its victim, or rips open its abdomen to feed on the intestines.
The members of the fifth family, Trygonidae or sting-rays, are distinguished from the rays proper by having the vertical fins replaced by a strong spine attached to the upper side of the tail.

 OVER SEAS September 1999: Message from the Sea
Laila, a green sea turtle, carries a newly outfitted satellite transmitter on her upper shell.
For all that, scientists say they know little about the sea turtles' life history, and for good reason: Except for the first two months, sea turtles spend most of their lives in the sea; females return to land only to nest, and the males rarely come back, if at all.
Armed with a camera and alert to every photo opportunity, I keep a close watch on their activities, or roam the island for a rare glimpse of nesters going back to the sea at daybreak.

Primitively vicious clubs will shatter soft tiny skulls as sealers dressed in fl and besmeared with slimy blood, march arrogantly across the ice, kicking pups in the face, tearing the living skin off of small throbbing convulsing bodies, and transforming the home of the ice lovers from Greenland into a dark, chaotic cesspool of evil.
These are men, who in their greed have overfished the seas, looting the waters of life as they plunder the fishes from the deep to convert into lucre.
These are men, who in their anger, preach a harsh hatred of the compassionate, and belittle the kindness of those who care for the lives of the seals.

 The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition - Save the High Seas
To make matters worse, the deep sea's remarkable array of coral, sponge, fish, crustacean and other species are, to an unusually high degree, undiscovered and endemic.
On the high seas south of Australia, in an area known as the South Tasman Rise, observers recorded trawlers bringing up an average of 1.6 tons of coral per hour in their nets in 1997 – the first year of the area's orange roughy seamount fishery.
Seven years after the damage, some of the larger colonies that survived the initial trawl tow were still missing 95–99 percent of their branches.

 OVER SEAS -- August 2002: Coastal Alert
A population's EF is the total area of productive land or sea required to produce all the crops, meat, seafood, wood and fiber it consumes, to sustain its energy consumption and to give space for its infrastructure.
Moreover, the pollution that is forming the haze could be leading to "several hundreds of thousands" of premature deaths as a result of higher levels of respiratory diseases, the report suggests.  Studies indicate that the level of fatalities is rising along with the levels of pollution.
Results from seven cities in India alone, including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai, estimate that some kinds of air pollution were annually responsible for 24,000 in the early 1990s.

Thither - from the gendarme to the babe in arms, the pastor followed by his flock, the schoolmaster carrying along with him his scholars, and the scholars with their books and slates - they had taken ship some two days previous to our arrival, and were all now engaged disputing boundaries.
It was admirable to observe the completeness of their flight, like that of hibernating birds; nothing left but empty houses, like old nests to be reoccupied in spring; and even the harmless necessary dominie borne with them in their transmigration.
Not only in the outer sea, but in the lagoon itself, a certain traffic woke with the reviving breeze; and among the rest one Francois, a half-blood, set sail with the first light in his own half-decked cutter.

 President Bush's Seven Initiatives to Combat Nuclear Proliferation
The PSI is a program under which the US and some of its allies bestow upon themselves the authority to interdict shipments carrying suspect cargo and to seize illegal weapons or missile technologies at sea, in the air or on land.
While the NPT explicitly prohibits the transfer of nuclear weapons and weapons technology to non-nuclear states, the right to intercept shipments on the high seas, in straits, or in international space has not yet been established under international law.
In fact, it may indeed be contrary to such laws, as well as the UN Charter's prohibition on use of force and its guarantee of state sovereignty.
