Marine Conservation Institute is dedicated to securing permanent, strong protection for the oceans’ most important places - for us and future generations.
The nets being use to fish are killing the kelp and reefs. They need to put a stopto it cus they provide oxygenation to our hemisphere. If not soon will be like China with low amounts of oxygen and high pollution
Science is utterly Pathetic.. and Lifetimes Late.. the Bible tells you there's Mountains under water all the way in the "Deep". the Bible was written 1000's of years ago, supposedly Without the Technology of today.. How do you think these People of Biblical times knew there were Mountains 100's of miles underwater. There's Nothing Science "Discover" that the Bible haven't talked about 1000's of years earlier.
Love these videos. Never heard of a seamount until today. Thanks to an email from Marine Conservation Institute. I do have a question about light pollution. If these critters are down deep in our dark oceans, wouldn't the light from the rovers/equipment harm them in some way?

Shared to Twitter and Facebook....excellent! As a PADI rescue diver, I know the marine life is declining as is our coral reefs. Just returned from Ambergris Caye...sadly, hardly any marine life and reefs gray and dead...
a proposal like GLORES would not work at this point in time along with other versions of this idea. Purely as there is no commitment to enforce and maintain such an effort - it would become another giant "Paper Park"
+Dean Philpot GLORES is a great initiative- from people who understand the global challenge of MPA enforcement. It`s a start and it deserves to be supported.
But what's to stop it not being enforced and becoming another "great project" that put some money in some peoples pockets... too many short-lived ideas become salary payers sadly
