Alligator nice but sad read.
I am not surprised to read any of this Alligator, Chris. I saw (a DVD I've never heard of bough and it) "Planet Ocean" and thought it would be like "Planet Earth", it is and it is not. I was expecting all the amazing things like there are on Planet Earth but for the ocean. It is amazing but sad at the same time. It does show some of the animal/fish life but it also shows how we have/are destroying the oceans.
Fishing alone is a shocker massive fishing fleets (damage from burning fuel), nets that are 25 miles long that are going to amazing depths just to get food, how we are over fishing, killing fish needlessly etc... The list is huge of course the Tsunami had not hit at that time, who knows what the authors of the film would have included.
Alligator "perhaps the best hope for the health of the oceans would be for an act of nature to provide a cleansing". You know you might be right. Kind of funny/Ironic we trash the ocean and the ocean gives it back.
Re: "The Ocean is broken" But they said they'd calculated that the environmental damage from burning the fuel to do that job would be worse than just leaving the debris there."
Thinking outside of the box again, and being simplistic, I don't know how feasible but why not build a tanker size sailing ship and try and clean up the mess? Or how about every time some is out in the ocean why not pick up something and bring it home? I've done it. Also after watching a beach sunrise one morning two of use started picking up trash that had been left on the beach by spring breakers. Yes I realize there are certain precautions one must take. |
