Alanna Mitchell: Sea Sick - ecoSanity.org

On May 1st, 2009, Alanna Mitchell, Author of "Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis", spoke at a Rotary Club luncheon at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada.

For most of history, life has existed only in the global ocean (only one, all connected), which makes up 99% of the living space on the planet. Every second breath we breathe comes from plankton in the ocean. And if all land life were to die, ocean life could survive, but if all ocean life were to die, land life — all of us — would also die.

So what's the fire?

The present impacts of the ocean acidification process that's been set in motion are immense, accelerating threats RIGHT NOW, and the projected outcome of our current, carbon-intensive course is the potential collapse of ocean life within decades(!).
