Your trash could come back to haunt you. That's the moral of this cautionary tale created by Esteban Valencia, Eduardo Hernandez and Randi Levey, students from Miami Beach Senior High. They won first place in the 15-17 year-old category of the Oceans 2030: Youth Outlook Multimedia Contest. This video, and several other winning submissions, was made at the One Water Workshop, a week-long video program for kids.

When sperm whales go on the hunt, they may work together to ensnare their prey. That's one of the findings being presented at the American Geophysical Union Ocean Sciences Meeting 2010, taking place this week in Portland. From whale behavior to the surprisingly far-ranging larvae inhabiting undersea vent systems, the health of undersea ecosystems, we'll get a guided tour of studies from the meeting's scientific sessions. There's plenty to see under the sea.
