For Ocean Lovers

The Marine Conservation Society (UK) recently released a report titled, “Silent Seas.” (It can viewed here.) The report, “documents the damaging effects of over-fishing, costal pollution and inadequate habitat protection, and warms that without radical mitigation,” the seas could suffer “ecological disaster.”
They also posted an accompanying 6 minute video on YouTube. It can be viewed here.
I’m going to peruse the report at another time but I did watch the video. If you love the ocean, you’ll love the video. It is heartbreaking though to see the numbers in terms of how many fish we not only kill, but outright throw away ever year.
