With predictions of increased sea surface temperatures and other physical changes to the ocean (IPCC, 2013), knowledge of how seabirds can adapt (Sydeman et al., 2012) and the factors limiting those adaptations are essential for effective management of seabird populations in the future.
Unfortunately for the end user, YouTube is more like an ocean of knowledge that spreads only 1 millimeter deep, and to the "real" learner, this poses a problem.

He followed the rivers out to the ocean, the sciences, from which all rivers of knowledge flow (the analogy, of course, is a bit off, for rivers flow to the ocean, not from it).
With increasing knowledge of the age of the Earth, however, it was soon realized that, at the present rate of delivery of salts to the ocean or even at much reduced rates, the total salt content and the mass of individual salts in the oceans could be attained in geologically short time intervals compared to the planet's age.
Rivers are significant contributors of Fe to the ocean.
Although freshwater and terrestrial environments are recognised as origins and transport pathways of plastics to the oceans, there is still a comparative lack of knowledge about these environmental compartments.
Some of the debris sinks to the ocean floor.
Borges wrote about eternal puzzles, impossible architecture, immortality, vast libraries and oceans of knowledge, epochs and eras and small moments, and religious and literary and entirely made up near-mythological characters as if he were reporting on them.
