The Ocean Blog
http://community.oceana.org
WE LIVE ON A WATER PLANET. Oceans cover 71 percent of the globe, and they are as important to us as they are vast. Not only do oceans control our climate, they are the primary source of protein for a billion people around the world. They drive our economies. For millions of sailors, swimmers and vacationers of all stripes, oceans offer a refuge from the metal and asphalt that encase our working lives.
Founded in 2001, Oceana is the world’s preeminent non-profit organization that advocates solely for the preservation of our oceans. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., our outreach spans the globe, with offices in Madrid, Spain; Brussels, Belgium; Santiago, Chile; New York, N.Y.; Monterey, Calif. and Juneau, Alaska. Our teams of marine scientists, economists, lawyers and advocates win definitive and concrete policy changes to reduce pollution and to prevent the irreversible collapse of fish populations, marine mammals and other sea life. More than 300,000 members and E-activists in over 150 countries have already joined Oceana.
For more information, please visit the Oceana website.

Perhaps the most crucially important issue facing us all today. No Planet = No Us and you don't have to be a scientist to fathom that one out!

Nikki, Thanks for adding me as a friend, I'll certainly be add you as well.
World conservation is very need and dear to my heart and I'm enormously grateful to organizations such as Oceana for their efforts to preserve our planet and all living creatures on it.
I also joined the Oceana network before leaving your site.

Oceana is a science-based non-profit organization, the largest in the world in fact, that focuses solely on ocean issues. What's more, Oceana generates results. Pertinent issues -- ranging from pollution and seafood contamination to destructive bottom trawling and over-fishing subsidies -- are attacked from all sides only after the organization has established specific and concrete goals to improve the situation. Not every non-profit can say they do that. The oceans are in dire straights, and Oceana is our best hope for turning the tide. Learn more: http://takeaction.oceana.org
A real thinker and a great blog. The appearance is fine and the posts enjoyable. I absolutely adore the ocean blog here! Cheers!
