Quote of the Day

If we’re to avoid the most disastrous of foreseeable futures, we must use every means at our disposal to lower stress and boost the abundance and variety of life in the sea. It could just buy nature enough time for us to stabilize our own population, transition to energy sources other than fossil fuels, and to find ways of living within the limits of a finite planet. 

There are many ecological services that we cannot artificially re-create or which would simply be too expensive or impractical to engineer.
