June 8th - World Ocean Day

Whose side are you on?
From Greenpeace.org:
"June 8, World Ocean Day, a chance to celebrate and reflect on the beauty and life of our oceans? No way! It’s the day before the kick off of the Football World Cup and we want YOU to take action. Protect the world’s oceans by getting involved in the event of the year ….Oceans World Cup!
Ever 4 seconds an area the size of 10 football fields is destroyed by deep-sea bottom trawling.
A neat video on Bottom Trawling.
