OCEAN ISSUES

In addition to the network of people and our monitoring technology, SeaKeepers has been committed to gathering and disseminating good information about our seas. Below we direct our supporters and the public to publications such as our reports as well as other newsworthy articles and sources of information. This list is not meant to cover all the ocean issues for obvious reasons. This is our selection of some key issues that we will continue to update.

One man's reflections about the sea and its meaning to our lives. Jim Gilberts SeaView

This we know . . . Whatever befalls earth, befalls the sons of earth. Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Chief Seattle of the Duamish and Squamish Tribes, 1855

Tens of millions of sharks are killed every year to make shark fin soup, an Asian delicacy that denotes privilege and social rank. A bowl of shark fin soup can cost US$100, which makes the fins by far the most valuable part of the shark, and explain why most shark are finned and then returned to the sea to die a slow and agonizing death. (From Oceana Website)
