BlogFish For What’s Under The Surface
by director on Jan.15, 2008, under Ecology
One of the greatest challenges there is to marine conservation efforts is that most people don’t have much of a conception of what lies beneath the surface of the ocean’s waves. Most of us have never been diving – and a lot of people have never actually been to the ocean.
So, BlogFish does a simple thing. It familiarizes people with the creatures that live in the ocean, so that we can understand the need to conserve their habitat. Seeing is the first step toward appreciation, and appreciation is a step toward protection.
The blog is written by Mark Powell, a scientist by training, and Vice President for Fish Conservation at the Ocean Conservancy.
