While doing some browsing on the net I stumbled across this neat little site by way of the Tyee home page.
The Tyee has linked to the LA Times homepage and a fairly well done multi media presentation on the state of the world’s oceans these days.
It’s an easy to navigate website that highlights the numerous troubles in the deep blue seas. It would make Al Gore proud, such is its depth but yet easy to follow path ways.
It’s divided up into five parts; failing habitats, poisoned marine life, toxins of the deep coming ashore, our garbage problems and how they impact on marine life and how seawater is turning acidic threatening sea life.
Complete with videos, graphic presentations and photo graphs to go along with its written material it’s a great example of where the web is going and what can be done on it to inform and educate us all.
The quick fact bits that flash on your screen read like a list of the disappeared. Coral, tuna, forests, marine life and much more, all in need of either the witness protection program or an FBI task force looking for them and the cause of their disappearance.
Check it out; there’s a wide range of information to make you think about where we’re sending the world these days. You’ll probably never throw another thing in the ocean (then again, you probably won’t actually go into the ocean either).
The project is like a scared straight seminar for those who haven’t been paying attention over the years.
