What is Marine Pollution about?

Bookboon, 2013. — 231 p. — ISBN 978-87-403-0540-1 Nothing so vast as Earth's Oceans. Nothing so unknown on our planet as its variety of life, in morphology and in functioning, as the billions of organisms sheltered in the waters. Nothing so important for maintaining a homeostatic equilibrium on Earth, beneficial for all its inhabitants, including mankind. And nowadays - nothing as threatened in its core existence: pollulion along the coasts and in the deep sea, mining of the resources so far buried under several kilometres of water, the atmospheric rise in carbon dioxide being buffered by the ocean's carbon sinks (changing conditions for life in that ocean), overfishing leading to a possible annihilation of all commercial fish stocks by 2050, invasive species being shuttled to all corners of the world by an ever-growing number of commercial ships, noise levels drowning out whale songs and shattering the ears of dolphins,. No, reading about the slate of the oceans is certainly not an agreeable activity and does not sooth our minds longing for a better and cleaner world. Contents Foreword What is pollution?
