The Oceans can save the world

The Oceans can save the world, but we must save them through the elimination of pollution and the protection of marine life.

It’s great that TIME magazine is flagging the issues, and of course whale poo is really important, but 80% of the world has no effluent treatment, and the shit from 6 billion people and all the toxic chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides are killing marine life in the world’s oceans.

No amount of whale poo is going to save the panet; pollution is killing the whales; and dinoflagellate phytoplankton fed by the pollution is producing domoic acid, which is causing the whales brain damage; and it’s not only whales; it’s all marine mammals and birds and even humans.

The Oceans are responsible for up to 80% of our oxygen and carbon sequestration. Terrestrial systems take 60 years to double in biomass, but if we stop killing marine life with toxic chemicals, the doubling time is just 3 days because most of the biomass in the oceans is bacteria and plankton under 1mm in size.

Mangroves

Mangroves cover around 0.1% of the planet, but sequester around 850 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. In terms of area, mangroves sequester 10 times more than tropical rainforest. But its not just carbon sequestration that’s important, mangroves are a valuable breeding ground for fish, bacteria on their roots can metabolise plastic, they protect coastal area from erosion and indeed the stabilize the ground and increase the height of the ground. If you look after and protect mangroves it is possible to counter the effect of rising sea level
