Coalition Exposes a Blind Spot
by director on Feb.20, 2009, under Ecology
One of the troubles in dealing with issues that have to do with Earth’s oceans is that human beings live on land. Even if we live near the oceans, we see the surface, which is unchanging. Except when there are extraordinary events, such as giant oil slicks, we don’t see what’s going on under the waves.
So, even though the oceans cover most of our planet’s surface, we can’t really see them. Marine ecology exists in a blind spot in our awareness of the world.
That makes the work of organizations like the National Coalition for Marine Conservation. That group, dedicated to confronting issues in the overexploitation of marine fish, seeks to open our eyes to what’s going on beneath the waters’ surface.
Please, take a look.
