Welcome to the Mermaid's Blog, written by our very own Mermaid Authority!
Dictating to o­ne of our EcoMermaid Staff, our Mermaid consultant has agreed to maintain a blog here for all of us who are craving to know more and more about The Mers!

But first, an intro by our own MythMermaid of Mythize

 

The Mers Mermaids and Mermen

The Mers

What do we know about the Mers?

Well, first, that it's the title of my book trilogy, and secondly, that they live in the deep seas of the world.

Who are the Mers?

They’re fish with tails – but they have a resemblance to humans from the hips up!

Commonly called Mermaids and Mermen, The Mers also include tribes of other fish who resemble other land mammals like ourselves, including cows, horses, dogs, and cats, among many others!

I know perhaps the most about them, since I've made a life study of them, and have The History of the Mers, another of my books, coming out soon too -  but there's more - someone who prefers to remain anonymous has been contacted by an actual Mer!

Yes!

Unprecedented contact with o­ne of us humans!

So we do know now that Mers exist!
 

This ground-shaking knowledge has not yet swept across the world, but we know it will!
Since The Mers are allied with those who love our Planet and are determined to save it, we will all be finding out more and more about our kindred spirits under the sea.
We know a lot more about them already, and I will be sharing lots of information on the world of the Mers, so keep swimming in to MythMermaid's Sea.

And now, Our Mermaid Speaks, dictating to her interpreter, the human she chose as her contact among the humans:


Greetings to all of you on the land territories.
I'm not used to talking so much, but since you are so wonderful who are involved with Ecoize in wanting to save our Planet, Sea, along with us Mers, I'm going to start talking a lot more.

Please show me a little patience, since I must find ways to describe our undersea Worlds to you in ways you can more easily understand, plus sharing details about our own styles of living.
I will make this first entry rather brief, since I'm still introducing myself to you all.
And thank you so much for interpreting this for me.
My mission in speaking with you is vital to all of the Mers.

Monday
Not only have I decided to make contact out of curiosity, but I've been elected, since I'd made friends with a human who is Compassionate, by my group - like your villages - to learn more about the World Above the Water, or Territory, as we call your land world.
The reason is that since you have been more and more intrusive into our Merritory - what we call our Underwater World - and frankly, the sonar, the noise pollution, the constant bomb testing, and the pollution is life-threatening for everyone o­n our planet, so we must learn to find solutions together.
So, I'm here to find them.
It will take the committment to care from the Landed People, since you're the o­nes destroying our world.

We've long had the capacity to use machinery, as you land beings do, and to change things.
This is nothing to be proud of.
Any clever primate, like humans, can figure things like that out, given the need, just as we fish beings can.  It's all in the appendages - and we, like you, have fingers and opposable thumbs, even though we have a transparent webbing between them.

We long, long ages ago figured out that the things we could create to make our own lives a bit easier were not in the long run beneficial either to us as individuals or to the group of Mers as a whole, and nothing we could make would ever benefit all the other animal groups - far from it.
We've always been close to Nature.
We prefer the Natural World the way it is.
We're here to protect it - to protect Her, Our Planet, Sea.

I know you call Her Earth, but since She's mostly water, our name for Her fits.
Planet Sea doesn't refer just to the Watery World, but to All Our Planet.

Wednesday now, by your reckoning.
We, of course, have our own measurements but we don't measure time at all.
We seldom have a need to measure anything.
The Mers take a different view of everything you landed beings do, and it's going to take a long book or series of books to find ways of explaining who we are to you.
It's essential that we understand each other, though, for the future and for our shared planet.
Starting from a cultural perspective is the best way.
By the way, do you know how we two communicate? The land being and I?
There are different senses we Mers possess, and a few of you on land have rudimentary means of using these same extra senses.
To us they're commonplace, but to you, I understand from my human contact, they're extraordinary.
I'll have to dealve into some scientific explantions here, so I'll save it for next posting.
I'm getting a bit dizzy from having to be so near the surface and the bright sunlight for so long, so I'm going to take a long dive down and get refreshed.
Good Night for now!

Someone has asked the person who translates these for the public to ask me about the Mers and the sunlight.
We tend to be deep water fish most of the time, so our eyes have to adjust to the daytime above the seas. We can only stay above in the shallow water for just so long while the sun is at its' brightest.
The night time is when the Mers do most of their shoreline swimming.
This is another reason why we Mers have been long associated with the moon, with magic and even with what you term witchcraft.
We don't need any such thing to cause things to happen, though, the way you Earth walkers do.
Our powers are more extensive just naturally.
And we don't like to cause harm.
I understand that the term "witchcraft" can mean white or black magic, but either way, we don't need magic, and yet what we do you humans would probably name as that since our ordinary gifts seem that way to you.
Since we tend to be more universal in our world view and especially since we are compassionate toward all beings equally and are vegan, we o­nly use that type of power when we are protecting someone, like a sea turtle or a jellyfish, another Mer, and sometimes, if the human is a kind, vegan, we'll save him or her too.
