Is The Ocean Doomed or Can It Be Saved?

What is our world going to be like if we destroy and pollute the oceans? The increase in world population and the continued rise of industrialization have resulted in a need to further understand the world’s oceans. One of the most important factors that impact the biosphere is the condition of the world’s oceans. A basic understanding of the structure and composition of the ocean and knowledge of how life in the ocean affects life on land can increase the extent to which we are able to protect this important natural resource and the life that depends on it.
