Today I received an email from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, making me aware that today a Joint Ocean Commission Initiative, a be-partisan coalition, will be in Washington, D.C. to bring to Congress The Untold Story of Climate Change.
Julie Packard, Executive Director of Monterey Bay Aquarium, is on tha
t commission, and will be there to help bring the facts to the attention of those ingovernment who can act. They will be offering a blueprint for federal ocean policy which seems practical and do-able, and may be our hope to survive what will happen to our world if no action is taken.
If I may quote, the plan is to "secure healthy oceans, imp
rove human well being, create national wealth, and provide responsible stewardship of our resources." Their plea is that we "must integrate ocean and coastal science into the broader national climate agenda."The above quotes are from an article in today's Huffington Post. Please read it for yourself and p
erhaps do whatever you are able toward saving our oceans. They do, after all, comprise the vast majority of our planet. In any case, you may find the article of interest. And you may want to investigate the online site of Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is fascinating.Photographs courtesy of MBA site.
From sea to air you've got it all covered Bobbie!
ReplyDeleteOur oceans are just as important as our forests, maybe more so.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, and such a very important cause!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder not only about this, which I had let slip, but also reminding of Blogging for Peace! Keep me on the path, Bobbie!
