Plastic Oceans
Far out in the pacific ocean between California and Hawaii, there are huge islands of garbage swirling together into ever-growing "cyclones" of debris. One island of trash is twice the size of the state of Texas. "The ocean's in trouble, [therefore] we are in trouble. Whether we live in Illinois or the Bay Area here in California, we live and die by the ocean," says senior scientist at the Ocean Conservancy in Santa Cruz, Wallace J. Nichols.

Another sign, believe it or not, I could see it coming and think most of us did. "Global Fishing Collapse" is in NEWS and people are talking about taking measures to reduce Fishing, as in one news article someone wrote, “When humans get into trouble they are quick to change their ways, we still have rhinos and tigers and elephants because we saw a clear trend that was going down and we changed it. We have to do the same in the oceans.” well I do appreciate the thought and believe that would help, but I don’t see it as a solution, shouldn’t we think beyond obvious and stop acting like ignorant, aint that why God gave us BRAINS. I guess we do understand that the real threat to Oceanic life comes from billions of gallons of pollutants we are draining down in oceans. Are we ever gonna bring it up and talk about it or will we wait till the day oceans are polluted enough to not support any form of life?
I hope Nimo is not the last one left for me to show my grandkids what fish was like.
