Hi,
This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.
Thanks

Ancient human-sized fish breathed with lungs

The ancient ancestors of the human-sized coelacanth (see-leh-kanth) breathed with lungs, according to a new study. The modern coelacanth, like most fish, uses gills to get oxygen from the water, but its dinosaur-age ancestors also had a well-developed lung, allowing them to survive in low-oxygen shallow waters. It’s probable that during the Mesozoic Era, part of the coelacanth family moved to deeper waters, eventually losing their lung and relying solely on their gills to breathe.
