Why care that the world is blue?
Perspective
The vision : limitless ocean bounty, infinite resiliency. Taking wildlife I : the mammals ; Taking wildlife II : the fish ; Taking wildlife III : the shellfish ; The ultimate garbage disposal
The reality : the ocean is in trouble, therefore, so are we. Biodiversity loss : unraveling the fabric of life in the sea ; Drilling, mining, shipping, spilling ; Changing climate, changing chemistry
Now is the time : opportunities for action. Exploring the ocean ; Governing the ocean ; Farming the ocean ; Protecting the ocean
