Give The Ocean A Break. Give Yourself

I Hope That Someday We Will Find Evidence That There Is Intelligent Life Among Humans On This Planet.

We Need To Respect The Oceans And Take Care Of Them As If Our Lives Depended On It. Because They Do.

There Is A Terribly Terrestrial Mindset About What We Need To Do To Take Care Of The Planet-as If The Ocean Somehow Doesn't Matter Or Is So Big, So Vast That It Can Take Care Of Itself, Or That There Is Nothing That We Could Possibly Do That We Could Harm The Ocean...we Are Learning Otherwise.

Look At The Bark Of A Redwood, And You See Moss. If You Peer Beneath The Bits And Pieces Of The Moss, You'll See Toads, Small Insects, A Whole Host Of Life That Prospers In That Miniature Environment. A Lumberman Will Look At A Forest And See So Many Board Feet Of Lumber. I See A Living City.

Globally Sharks Have Been Killed For Their Fins, For Their Cartilage, For Their Livers, For Their Meat. But Mostly What Has Driven Some Species Of Sharks To Near Extinction - Including The Hammerhead Shark - Is The New Luxury Taste For Shark Fin Soup.
