Half the world¡¯s people live within 100 kilometres from the coast, and tenth within 10km. the sight and smell of the sea inspire courage and adventure, fear, and romance. the waves may be rippling or mountainous, the waters angry or calm, the ocean itself is eternal. its tides keep to a rhythm. It is unchanging.
Or so it has long seemed. Appearances deceive. on surface and coastal waters where 90% of marine life is to be found, the impact of man¡¯s activities is increasingly plain. man have changed landscapes and atmosphere. it would be peculiar if the seas, which we have used for food, transport, dumping rubbish, and for recreation for centuries, have not also been affected.
Hear this. The fish that once seemed unlimited are now declining in almost everywhere. 90% of large predatory fish including tuna and sharks have gone, and 85% of whales has disappeared. Not to mention almost all other sea creatures have suffered huge losses and their habitats at risk.
Global warming, 100 years of fossil fuel burning put an enormous amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which about a third of it is taken up by the sea, making it more and more acidic. Man¡¯s interference does not stop there; we deliberately throw tons of rubbish into the sea, everything from sewage to rubber tires, toxic waste, and plastic. The UN Environment Programme reported in 2006 that every square kilometre of sea held nearly 18 000 pieces of floating plastic, and average of 44 pieces of them were also found in stomachs of 19 out of 20 dead fulmars around North Sea.
Man has used the oceans as a dustbin for far too long and much of the harm done by such pollution is invisible to the eye. Coral reefs, the rainforest of the sea suffered most of it all and perhaps only 5% of coral reefs can now be considered pristine, quarters lost and all vulnerable to global warming.
Now, lets talk about our victims, the population of the sea, well¡¦ at least what is left of them anyway. There was no casualty during cold war, just dead fishes. Technology developed to find Soviet Union¡¯s submarines was soon put to use in the pursuit of haddock. Giant trawlers coming after them with fishing line long as 125 km, they have no choice but shyly come up on our dinner table. Nowadays even satellites are put to use to make sure that happens. But for how long?

Is it for you to ravage seas and land? Definitely not. The risks of continuing on current paths needs to be better managed to take advantage of huge opportunities for feeding a growing world. Absence of ownership are often times not good management and practical measures must be taken as the sea needs owners, followed by international agreements for regulation, management, policing. The risks of doing nothing are just too frightening.
