      yet with the current society on earth will make it such a hard topic to BE TAKEN SERIOUS.
      WE MUST NOT FAIL TO PROTECT THE OCEAN. the business men/women behind Unilever and other grand sea food companies must know and adapt to the needs for a stable ocean life.

    I lived in Luanda, Angola in 2015, of the few times I went by boat it was disappointing to see so many garbage dumps in the sea, several times we had to stop to take out the garbage because it got tangled and clogged the boat, there was plastic, cans etc I am shocked and saddened. Luanda is a very ascinated city with a high production of garbage and a deficit for its collection and proper disposal, added to that there is a cultural and sensitive deficit towards the issue of recycling and protection of the planet and the oceans. If someone reads this comment, it may help raise awareness among the people and leaders of that country for the good of our planet.

    This is a wonderful presentation of a not so wonderful subject, the state of the ocean. People just don't realize what is happening and that the ocean is the mother of all life on earth. If the ocean dies, we die. Its such a paradox that as we expand our knowledge of the universe, physics and make great technological leaps, we ignore what is happening to planet earth and our support system. I wish I had hope for humanity as a whole. All each of us can do is make as big an impact as we can.

    I hatch! Crawl! And swim!
    Oh how I love my sweet life,
    But-why’s the sea so warm?
