These sightings and photos of mermaids on this site are not real. Though mermaids are alive and well in the hearts of humankind, no one has produced a clear photograph that would be proof that mermaids really exist. This site was created as a fantasy world, that I would like to share with you. The oceans are so very vast and unexplored, new species of marine life are recorded constantly. Anything is possible - many sightings in large bodies of water - unexplained. Maybe someday, we (as humans) will create cities under the sea, and spend more time exploring the near-endless oceans. Maybe then we will unlock the secrets of the deepest depths of the seas. I hope you enjoy merchild.com, and come back often and share my love for mermaids.        ~ Pearl
