No doubt you ocean people are already in the know about the fabled blue lobster, or the one with the fake eyes, or even the half-and-half lobster (above).

In fact, he’s leading a cruise to the Line Islands sponsored by National Geographic. The cruise will be amply documented at a dedicated wesite called Ocean Now. [Thanks to Intelligent Traveller]
