Only Two Percent Of The Ocean Is

With Knowing Comes Caring.

The Observations That Have Developed Over The Years Have Given Us Perspective About Where We Fit In. We Are Newcomers, Really Recent Arrivals On A Planet That Is Four And A Half Billion Years Old.

When I Arrived On The Planet, There Were Only Two Billion. Wildlife Was More Abundant, We Were Less So; Now The Situation Is Reversed.

By The End Of The 20th Century, Up To 90 Percent Of The Sharks, Tuna, Swordfish, Marlins, Groupers, Turtles, Whales, And Many Other Large Creatures That Prospered In The Gulf For Millions Of Years Had Been Depleted By Overfishing.

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.
