I just read a great article by Ted Danson (who knew!) about the trouble facing out oceans right now. It’s important that we all become aware and this article is a great place to start.
Here is just a snippet you will find in this article about saving the ocean:
” The U.N. reports that 75 percent of seafood species are maxed out or overexploited and catches of nearly a third of these species are less than 10 percent of what they once were.
Ninety percent of the big fish — sharks, tuna, swordfish — are already gone, according to a 2003 study in Nature.
The chemistry of the oceans is changing as they absorb 11 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, and scientists say the acidifying waters will make it impossible for coral reefs, the nurseries of the sea, to grow.
At the current rate of acidification, corals, sea snails and other calcium-carbonate-requiring life forms could begin to dissolve by the middle of the century, with potentially catastrophic results. Shellfish and fish will be in deep trouble as well.
This is all happening on our watch.”

Oceans are automatically saved if you prevent the industrial waste to be disposed less in water …..

Ninety percent of the big fish — sharks, tuna, swordfish — are already gone, according to a 2003 study in Nature. – This is really disturbing. I wonder how many percent is still on the oceans today? Everyone should definitely go green to save these species.

horrific
Still the govt. of the nations are idle. These are not only going to kill the oceans but also going to destroy humans too.How can the govts sit idle under such a situation. Why don’t the developed nations under UNO unite?

This post gives details about seafood species .The fish looks beautiful.OK.

Best way to protect oceans is to identify and boycott those companies which are responsible for pollution, but this is virtually impossible without help of govt. institutions, so I doubt individuals can do much on their own.

This is a huge concern for me. I pray that people will wake up soon before it gets too late. Keep up the good work.

oh, I have heard so much awful news about the polluted ocean lately – giant jellyfish in Japan rising from the depths because the fish are gone, garbage patches miles long, mysterious spills, algae killing the Mediterranean, on and on. Still have time to clean it up!

do you know, our Marine Debris Index and the report’s recommendations provides a roadmap for eliminating marine debris altogether by reducing it at the source, changing the behaviors that cause it, and supporting better policy. Armed with knowledge about the most prevalent components of marine debris, elected officials can make informed policy decisions, community leaders can tailor and expand recycling and other trash-reduction programs, corporate decision-makers can improve technology and reduce packaging, and individuals can recycle, reuse, or properly dispose of trash to keep these items out of the ocean in the first place.

Ted Danson, who knew … LOL. But, he’s absolutely right – over fishing is a MAJOR problem, especially with the massive drag nets that catch all types of species indiscriminantly.
Better aquaculture is needed – check out the salmon farming industry and how it’s helped that fish.

Thanks for this important reminder. good to see a celebrity speaking up. living at the ocean I am constantly frustrated by the weekend fisherman thinkingt that caring for the ocean only applies to the commerciall fisherman.
Great blog.

Our Oceans are in trouble because some of us do not know how to take care of it. right?
20 da América Latina Personals // Jul 27, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I am so saddened by the news. As much as possible we should conserve our natural resources.
21 Pronexin // Jul 27, 2009 at 3:38 pm
This is very disturbing. over fishing is a major problem, but just like everything else in the world people will wait until the last possible moment, when their backs are against the wall to do something about it. We need to be more proactive as opposes to continuing on our track of reactivity.

Another major problem with our oceans is the high levels of mercury that is also getting into the fish and then into us through our diets.
This is slowly poisoning people across the world.
24 Bhavesh Bhatia // Jul 28, 2009 at 11:23 am
Yes…..we do organize lot of campaign for the green but still lacking to make efforts for see life which is under danger due to over utilization for our own purpose.
25 Amber from knitting needles // Jul 28, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I had no idea that Ted Danson was into the environment either.
I do realize that our oceans are in real danger. If you read National Geographic the scientists are always talking about using the ocean to solve many problems yet they forget to consider what the consequences will be to doing so. Plus we are already polluting it so much.
26 2nd chance banking // Jul 28, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I truly agree to this article…we don’t just go for green but also take good care of our ocean too.. or lets just say take care of our environment..because were the one who are living here why we’re the one who will destroy our nature?..we have to do something on this not tomorrow but let start NOW don’t let it worst for we are the one who will be affected.

This is horrible, this could mean that we are going to run out of seafood supply in the near future.

The sea must be protected. Unfortunately this is not an easy thing.

I came across this when searching info on Google. I will use it to complete my report for this weekend, thanks for the info.
32 Rok Mejak // Jul 30, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Great inspiration. Many times I read the news about over fishing and nobody does anything. Sea food is important part of our menu and therefore we should take care of the sea much more than we do.

We are responsible for this. We are not able to conserve our natural resources which is our moral responsibility. This is a great idea of posting such articles to aware people about this.

This is maybe the time that human as we are should learn how to take care of the resources that basically help us to survive..

I read that thousands of Dolphins are being killed in a country… It is quite sad to hear it. The sea creatures must be preserved.
