Summary:
"
Ocean
biodiversity is being decimated on par with the fastest rates of rain forest
destruction
. More than 80 percent of pollutants in the oceans come from sewage and other land-based runoff (some of it radioactive). The rest is created by waste dumped by commercial and recreational vessels. In many areas and for many fish stocks, there are no conservation or management measures existing or even planned. Climate author Albert Bates explains how
ocean
life maintains adequate oxygen levels, prevents erosion from storms, and sustains a vital food source that factory-fishing operations cannot match--and
why
that should matter to all of us, whether
we
live near the
ocean
or not. He presents solutions for changing the human impact on marine reserves, improving
ocean
permaculture, and putting the brakes on the
ocean
heat waves that destroy sea life and imperil human habitation at the
ocean
's edge"--Publisher.
