The Disappearance Of An Ocean Beauty Nautlius Faces Extinction

Every ocean lover is fondly familiar with the mysterious perfection of the spiral-patterned shell known as the Nautilus and it should sadden us all to read the following doom and gloom article about its possible disappearance from our seas:

We hate that this natural treasure has been relegated to "tourist gling-glack" status to such an extent over-harvesting may cause its extinction. We'll certainly do our part to spread the word - indeed, our fearless in-house amateur "artiste", Jo, is working on a drawing to memorialize the beauty of a Nautilus - and we hope you can join us in this and other ocean conservation efforts as well!
