Without The Oceans There Is No Life. The Oceans Are The Lungs Of The Earth. If We Protect the Oceans We Protect Ourselves.

There is nothing more breathtaking than scuba diving and seeing the ocean from the inside. We need to stop poluting this WHOLE planet, not just the oceans. It is sad as a intellegent speices we can not understand we are killing this plant.

Reduce use of plastic and stop using styrofoam. That will help.

that's so sad. I stopped eating fish a while ago, however, I get the feeling that won't make much a difference.

I saw a Documentary once about overfishing for large bluefin tuna....and these boats just sweep the ocean floor for tuna but end up getting other species. I'm not talking poor dolphin here. These fish boats are a 27/7 operation now.

Soon no more tuna.
