Our Endangered Oceans: Smithsonian Special
Our friends at Smithsonian.com have published an authoritative and moving feature at their EcoCenter on The Oceans. We encourage all of you to view it and learn about the fragile state of our seas and what we can do to protect them.
In the opening lines of Moby-Dick, Herman Melville describes the ocean as a tonic for the wounded soul. Lately, though, the part of Earth made up of water—some 70 percent—has hit a tempest of its own. Overfishing, a shifting climate and pollution threaten the future of many fish and coral species–and, in many ways, impact our lives on land. In the spirit of letting the sea ease one’s troubles, Smithsonian explores the problems, potential and fascinating phenomena of the great blue beyond.
