This unique tie-in to the major motion picture "Oceans"--coming
this April from Disney & "National Geographic"--explores the
health of our oceans, and what we can do to improve it.
More than 75 percent of the globe is covered by the oceans. It is
sometimes difficult to understand why it is called Planet Earth
rather than Planet Ocean. Since half the world's human population
lives within a stone's throw of an ocean coastline, the oceans'
health is increasingly important. Rich with resources and
potential--as a source of renewable energy, new drugs, drinking
water--for years we have treated them as both infinite and
undamageable. But they are not.
Over-fishing, climate change, pollution, acidification, and more
have put the world's oceans and marine life at great risk.
"Oceans" gathers some of the most insightful visionaries,
explorers, and ocean lovers-- marine biologists, politicians,
environmentalists, fishermen, sportsmen, deep divers, and more--in
a unique anthology, in which each speaks to a unique aspect of our
world's most dimly understood dimension.
