But I have to wonder if the merbeings aren't part of this, either via actual sightings or simple 'species memories'. All things considered, the bounty of the sea tends to be high protein, low fat and very nourishing so to think that a common ancestor may have chosen a watery home isn't that far fetched, is it?

While I'm not sure I would mistake a dugong for a human face in the water, I guess it would depend on the distance and the frame of mind...or perhaps the rum... However, I can't quite get my mind around there being a terrestrial race of half fish half human things living in the oceans of the world...just too far off Darwin's evolutionary chains... Though I did read a Russian Science Fiction story many years back about just that...and it was really good!
