Jetsam (what we’re enjoying from around the web)

Lagan (what we’re reading from the peer-reviewed literature)

Shipping News (academic and ocean policy wonkery)

Driftwood (what we’re reading on dead trees)

  • A less-than reputable science channel sends a team of scientists to the Marianas Trench to make a fake documentary about mermaids. It’s like Mira Grant’s Rolling in the Deep horror novel was written just for me (including my all-time favorite trope: wildly inaccurate descriptions of what research cruises are actually like).

Feel free to share your own Foghorns, Flotsam, Jetsam, Lagan, Shipping News, Driftwood, and Derelicts in the comments below.

    Mira Grant’s sequel, Into the Drowning Deep, is even better! It released last November. Up close look at those mermaids.
