Shifting Baselines - Our Oceans

Shifting baselines is a reference point from the past. Most people are unaware of the natural history of the ocean. Without this knowledge, our baseline concept of its natural state continues to ... all » shift, and we come to accept its current state as normal. This is the problem of shifting baselines.

The world's oceans are under threat from accelerated human disturbances and many practices by humans have made the oceans significantly less healthier then what they once where.

While the situation is grim; there is hope to turn things around, and you can make a difference to the health and state of our oceans and the amazing animals that live in it by making small but significant differences every day. Such as not polluting the ocean and showing respect for it.

For a more detailed analysis on the health of our oceans please watch additional videos on my blog on my profile.
