Scientists sign declaration urging action to save the world’s oceans.
Over 150 scientists from 26 countries have signed the Monaco
Declaration, which calls for immediate global action to reverse ocean
acidification caused by CO2 absorption. Stating that this destructive
process must be considered a primary effect of global warming because
of its threat to all marine life, the Declaration’s signatories are
calling on policymakers to act at once in drastically reducing CO2
emissions to stop further damage to ocean ecosystems. The Declaration
is based on the findings of October 2008 international marine climate
change symposium held in Monaco.
Our gratitude all signatories of the Monaco Declaration for your noble
commitment to save our marine environments. Blessed be wise leaders
worldwide in acting quickly to preserve the vast and precious life of
the seas.
In a live interview conducted via videoconference for East Coast FM
Radio by Louise Kings, Supreme Master Ching Hai was asked to share her
wisdom about the necessity of our planet’s oceans.
Louise Kings: How important is the sea to human survival?
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Well, it is as important as the forest to
Earth and the water. According to research, 50% of our Earth’s oxygen
is provided by microscopic sea plant, 50%. And now the dead zones in
the oceans kept spreading and increasing around the globe. The
pollution from fertilizers, sewage and fossil burning fuel are to
blame, according to scientists. But even cage farming for salmon also
cause dead zones.
To stop this destructive practice of fishing, the solution is
vegetarian diet, no fishy stuff in our meals. We must protect a living
and healthy sea, as it relates to our living and healthy self.
