If You Think The Ocean Isn't Important,

We Have An Atmosphere That Is Roughly 21% Oxygen. The Rest Of It Is Largely Nitrogen. There's Just Enough Carbon Dioxide (co2) To Drive Photosynthesis. That Has Been, Throughout The History Of Our Species, Pretty Stable. Until Recently.

Nearly All Of The Major Kinds Of Life, Divisions Of Life, Phyla Of Animals, Occur In The Sea. Only About Half Of Them Can Make It To Land Or Freshwater.

Just As We Have The Power To Harm The Ocean, We Have The Power To Put In Place Policies And Modify Our Own Behavior In Ways That Would Be An Insurance Policy For The Future Of The Sea, For The Creatures There, And For Us, Protecting Special Critical Areas In The Ocean.

Why Is It That Scuba Divers And Surfers Are Some Of The Strongest Advocates Of Ocean Conservation? Because They've Spent Time In And Around The Ocean, And They've Personally Seen The Beauty, The Fragility, And Even The Degradation Of Our Planet's Blue Heart.

It's Baffling Why The Issues Relating To Climate Change - [which] Have Far More Obvious And Tangible And Much More Clear-cut Evidence About The Cause - Have Been Slower For People To Accept As A Given.
