Depressing.

Seeing all the people going to paddle outs at local beaches is inspiring, many community groups are coming together to fight for the Bight.

The southern hemisphere parts of our oceans are all connected: penguins, great whites, southern right whales.. they all migrate within the watery confines of our continental landmasses.

An updraft in cold ocean currents in the South Atlantic will have an affect on sea life in the Tasman Sea.
Phytoplankton blooms from the Antarctic indirectly feed the fish of our fishing grounds.

We must all help preserve this more pristine part of our oceans. The Northern Hemisphere is screwed.

Well it seems that way.

We must not follow suit..

Steller's Sea Cow went extinct in the Bering Sea. Who would've known that such a bastion of wilderness could so easily be tarnished by the activities of our fellow man. Exxon Valdez oil spill wrecked havoc in the Alaskan Gulf..

And Japanese and Norwegian whaling activities seem to have taken off again.

Then there's the microplastics issue..

It all happens because there's a market for it, that's how market forces work.

Speaking of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Trump has just rolled back the environmental protections put in place by Obama after the Deepwater Horizon incident.

That's America for you. Their environment is well and truly fuucked already.

Yeah, I get that.

Some surfer dude went all the way to Norway to speak to them, which seems like a waste of time. What he should be doing is pressuring local government.. because Equinor won't be bringing jobs to the region (FIFO workers most likely who will have everything shipped to the oil rig, so they won't be contributing to the local economy).

Imo the revenue generated by fishing/tourism in the region far outweighs any benefits we would get from a foreign owned oil company drilling here.

All that sodium is gonna give you stones man
