The WorldA species of virus has appeared in the oceans of the world. It specialises on targeting choloroplasts. It has quickly gained a foothold in every ecosystem that sees sunlight. The vegetation yield has dropped as a result. This will pass as the flora adapt and the pandemic becomes an endemic.
All plant populations will be down a degree for a turn.
The poison fish crisis has progressed further.
Saltmaker Bloodcovy, Constipated Bloodcovy and Spadenose Dropeel are extinct.

Bir Island | Barren Rock Flats | (0/13 species)
Bir Shallows | Algea Forest | (11/13 species)
A large, carnivorous, rotund animal three meters in diameter, with many sharp, flexible tendrils with the ability to cast electricity to prey. It lives in small groups of a five or six related individuals, and are immidiately hostile to any other. It moves and manouvers around by using air jets on its underside. It has a large round mouth that it uses to devour its prey via suction from a set of powerful internal gills. It has a thick, porous skin that allows algea to grow on it, giving it camuflage. Its tissues are slightly acidic and charged with electricity, making it a bad target to parasites. It has a large brain, fish-like eyes, and a weak sense of electroreception. It secretes a pheromone that makes the algea that grow on it seem more attractive to prey. If it can't find prey, it goes into stasis to conserve energy. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.
A small, droplet-shaped, omnivorous, endoparasitic animal a centimeter in length, with a pair of long, rapidly flapping, cuttlefish-like fins with grasping suction cup ends, moving in synch. It has small keratin spikes in its mouth to stick onto larger animals, burying its head and feeding off their blood. Its body produces an antidote against Carriercovy toxin. Its mouth secretes a numbing and sedative venom to prevent the host from feeling its pain, along with a basic compound to stave off acidity. It produces a weak electric shock to surprise prey. It has a small brain, fish-like eyes, echolocation, and weak hearing. It reproduces by parasitic eggs that must be planted inside a host. The eggs secrete a scabbing substance to somewhat seal the wound. This process will often kill the host.
