  • This is ridiculous. I am a marine biologist, and I have studied this region extensively. This is completely erroneous and misleading. The situation is not nearly as dire as this would lead you to believe. The ocean is actual doing well!

  • It's like shooting ourselves in the foot with a bazooka.

  • This is one of the biggest problems we face today! If it isn't bad enough that we are killing our marine life, to move you to action, maybe the fact that the seafood you eat can be toxic to you!

  • This should be in every science class

  • Great job!
