Marine biology makes it into Boing Boing: reverse-engineered knowledge transfer

Look, marine biology makes it into the blogosphere. And turns the Baltic Sea green. Cool...

If that is the way people find out about stuff today, so be it. Quote:

"This European satellite image shows a boom-bloom of phytoplankton occuring in the Baltic Sea. There's so many of the critters, they've turned the sea green."

Boing Boing: Phytoplankton "explosion" in the Baltic Sea

Meta-blogging a piece of meta-information on some snapped up meta data: it seems silly, but in a way only fitting.

And it proves one (rather obvious) point:

There is so much data out there. But only so much information.

Or to put it less poetically: to generate data is easy, to generate information is not.
