Are We Killing Our Oceans and Seas.

Though I have been diving for a very short time and up to a year ago I really did not think much about the oceans and seas - except that I wanted to move to Florida later on in life.

Well, to make a long story short I started diving and hope to see some of the beautiful locations I have seen in magazines and videos. I look forward to this as I am sure many other divers do also.

I recall a few years back seeing a video on a plastic vortex pacific ocean, a few nights ago I saw another video on video hosting site about all the other oceans and seas world wide - These are truly terrible and if you know nothing about them just do a search on Google for Plastic Vortex and you will find out more about them.

When I went to look for the video again I could not find it but found this video from Greenpeace. Though I know very little about Greenpeace I feel strongly against what I seen in this video - http://bit.ly/greenpeace-ocn

Please let me know what you think about this once you watch it - Thanks

Yes we are slowly killing the ocean. Just as we are slowly encroaching on land areas that other wildlife need to sustain life, rain forest....

I have been fishing and diving the South Florida area about 17 years. I can vouch that diving has had an impact on our reefs, that overfishing has greatly diminished the sport fish population, and you will no longer be able to collect a bushel basket of lobsters on minny season on your first dive.

The only true way to halt this incroachment is to reduce the human population. I am not advocating that, it’s just the only way I see to maintain the balance of nature. Kinda like the balance of nature for all other species, eventually nature will balance us......

If you think of a different effective way let me know.

Yes, I did & I agree.

Had this really awsome comment typed up but my account timed out.

I’m sure it was to deep for most and would just be a waste of time to post. Maybe later I will rant and rave.......

We need to do something though - this is true.

I JOINED DID YOU? WILL YOU?

I believe we should go one step further, there should be a global moratorium on

ALL drilling, mining, COMMERCIAL fishing,whaling for any purpose, as well as shark fining. for a period of no less then 20 yr’s

we are the ONLY species that is committing GLOBAL SUICIDE !
