Blog Activity: Protection of our ocean.

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sylvia_earle_s_ted_prize_wish_to_protect_our_oceans.html In this video Dr. Sylvia mentions that we are facing a loss of our oceans. According to her, In 50 years we’ve eaten more than 90% of fishery resources (tuna, sharks, whales..). While diving is a leisure activity for some, for her, it was how she discovered the sea wildlife, and it was a start to a research.  No life support system can live with no oceans, everything was generated by the sea. The ocean has abilities to maintain its stability and lives of species that live in it and the environment around it. Therefore, health to oceans results in health to humans and the rest of living organisms. It has been found that Excess C02 is degrading oceans; and what effects sea affects the rest of the living beings. Moreover, as we take out great amount of fish, we replace the deficit by toxins in high amounts. Ignorance of people is the reason  of this, the ocean may turn without fish in the future. Actions are being taken  to preserve lands but oceans issue are not being taken seriously since it takes a long time to restore too many fish being taken away.  However, in my opinion, humanity cannot cut on the consumption of fish . the issue came about from our ignorance for sure, but cutting fish consumption will not result in a balance of the ecosystem neither since fish also has to be eaten by another being to complete the food chain. The problem should be resolved in decreasing the amount of fish being taken out and  toxins being put in the ocean.
