Ocean crisis
Tags: MI# 485
The ocean is in trouble, and we humans take too much from it without anything in return....The animals are slowly starving, and so are most of the third world. Organic fish farms are small-scale solutions, but massive scale farms are rediculous...The lice, disease and genetic dilution that goes on isn't worth it...All the best chefs in the world eat organic free range for a reason, more vitamins, taste, texture and colour....There are just some things mother nature does better than anyone....so what do you do... we need fish, the animals need fish.....
we do large scale reef construction (sinking old rubishy ship-wrecks), and people who chip in on the rehabilitation get a piece of the fishing action in that zone.. More for everybody & better quality...Its using our abilities to raise fish stocks by creating more breeding grounds that are monitored - and then setting up zones between reefs that are fishable to anyone who pays the insurance or rehabilitation costs - and how hard would it be to sink shipwrecks, or get boiler-makers to construct underwater "metropolis'" from old car/industrial wrecks for reefs to grow on!
Of course sea temperatures rising, and pollution/particulate matter affect our reefs (eg coral bleeching) however with collaborative efforts between the millions of great ideas out there to combat global warming, recycling, waste disposal, and ecosystem rehabilitation + project initiatives we are totally capable of doing something truly great.....Otherwise...who wants to live in a world without penguins, bears, seals, whales and their songs.....NOT me..
Ever wonder if we're truly ALONE in the universe?
Well if we keep treating Earth this way, we Truly will be!

Bree,
You're absolutely right! Everyone needs to take resposibility for their role in honoring and caring for the oceans and the earth as a whole! Our mother Earth is all we have, and more of us need to consider how every little thing we do impacts the environement we share. We all are learning this is not a sustainable path we're on, but that doesn't mean give up or wait for someone else to fix it. I believe helping the earth can help us individually in ways we never thought of, so let's get to it!
You hit the nail on the head there.
We are all responsible, we all throw things away, but there is no away - - just out of sight out of mind.
I think the new generations coming through are so keen and proactive when it comes to the oceans, they're just waiting to get their chance.
99year pattents are the next thing to sort out, what's the point of coming up with solutions, ideas, gadjets and tech (like the tyre that never busts) and selling it privately to NASA just to get Rover onto Mars. Don't get me wrong, love all science. But if the tyre is on Mars, then surely it can get onto the cars of everyday tax-payers - who probably paid for NASA's pattent of 99 years anyway
Good to hear you are just as ready to do something, that is sorely needed today, I only hope that it is soon an overwhelming majority...I mean after all, you can't eat money, or talk to it, or watch it glide through the ocean or hear it sing.
We are lucky enough to have stewardship of this planet, so lets do it properly
