Now that the Marine Change TamaSma Card has launched in Japan, Bandai Japan has put together a video demonstrating the TamaSma Card. The video covers the characters, meals, snacks, items, accessories, watch faces, wallpapers, mini game and more! Its really nice to see these demonstration videos so you can become familiar with the content on the card before your purchase, or even after your purchase.
VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)
This speedy pelagic fish seems to be attracted to flotsam and tall objects! They're broadcast spawners, releasing their eggs into open water without any parental care.
By studying calcifying organisms, Leanne aims to better understand the impacts of human activity on marine ecosystems. Through her research, she hopes to influence policy that helps protect marine calcifiers in the future.
“Why is this important? The idea is that the more porous the shell, the weaker it is. Mussels need strong, robust shells to protect their inner soft organs—and that strong 3D structure is important for ecosystem function as habitat formers and storm defenses.
Currently, the changes seen in shell porosity are not large enough to influence the material properties, so we aren’t seeing weaker shells just yet. But with further warming in our oceans being predicted, this could potentially lead to even more porous shells, potentially impacting mussels’ function as habitat formers and storm defenses, as well as their ability to protect themselves from predation,” Melbourne explains.
My de-facto niece and her mom wanted to see a Tamagotchi wedding, so I sent away my seahorse Mametchi on Sunday and raised a sea slug Awamokotchi through neglect. She ate all of one kelp salad as a youth, and that seems to have been enough to trigger the change!
Sanrio & Marine Change TamaSma Cards Gets Different Packaging
Thought all the TamaSma Cards packaging will look the same? Think again. Bandai Namco Japan has some different packaging for the the Sanrio Characters and Marine Change TamaSma Cards. The packaging will not be the traditional egg shaped clear plastic package, rather a rectangular package with a curved left side.
The front of packaging will display the Tamagotchi Smart, which of course you can plug it into, and some graphics from the TamaSma Card, including all the characters, some items, wallpapers, and watch faces. Lastly, you’ll of course see the TamaSma Card in the center as the plastic is clear and has a cut out for it. Could this be new packaging for all TamaSma Cards moving forward? Or is this just unique to the Sanrio Characters and Marine Change TamaSma Cards? We’ll soon find out!

it's true this video is strikingly beautiful, but the truth behind it is, in my opinion, necessary for everyone to know.
