Big wave surfers Grant Twiggy Baker, Brian Conley, Greg Long, Rusty Long, Frank Solomon and Anthony Tashnick call for the creation of marine protected areas in our oceans, like national parks on land, in this film by Ari Marcopoulos, presented by NRDC, called Seventy-One Percent of Earth.

@madjimms

I like your scientific reasoning. How does that work for you?

Did you convince anyone that the 0.04% CO2 has GOD-like powers? Just by insulting them?

WOW

Evidence / impacts of climate change series:

.

Nation's weather extremes may be the new normal

.

A record-setting winter in much of the country has been followed by more records: tornadoes, flooding, drought and heat. Climate change is largely to blame, scientists say.

What if a Marine Protected Area was placed at Rincon or Malibu,or Mavericks ? Mav's is already included in the North Central Coast proposals soon to be implemented by the California Fish and Game Commission. The Commission can, at any time, prohibit surfing like the Special Closures do. Right now the South Coast, from Point Arguello to the Mexican border, is in the process of creating a bunch of MPA's. Everyone should attend the meetings to make sure you still have a place to surf and fish.
