Ocean 'Dead Zones' On Increase
Author: AP Source: CBS News
Title: OCEAN 'DEAD ZONES' ON INCREASE
So-called "dead zones," oxygen-starved areas of the world's oceans that are devoid of fish, top the list of emerging environmental challenges, the United Nations Environment Program warned Monday in its global overview.
The spreading zones have doubled over the last decade and pose as big a threat to fish stocks as overfishing, UNEP said its Global Environment Outlook Year Book 2003, released at the opening of the agency's 8th summit for the world's environment ministers.
The new findings tally nearly 150 dead zones around the globe, double the number in 1990, with some stretching 27,000 square miles, about the size of Ireland.
Dead zones have long afflicted the Gulf of Mexico and Chesapeake Bay, but are now spreading to other bodies of water, such as the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Adriatic Sea, Gulf of Thailand and Yellow Sea, as other regions develop, UNEP said.

Earth will endure.
It is the human species that is in trouble. A few million years ( a mere moment to the Earth) after our species have poisoned ourselves out of existence the planet will still be spinning along and probably teeming with life, just not our life.
All of the seemingly un-natural things we create, all of the global destruction, all of the human things are natural despite appearances to the contrary. Face it, humans are a part of Nature.
Nature is neither good or bad, it simply is. Nature will take its course and us along with it.
The only constant is change.

I wouldn't mind it very much if some of the various leaders who are deliberately trashing our planet were dragged INTO the ocean by seven seals, maybe some walruses (walri?) or a few orcas, perhaps... Find More info -- HERE

particulary religious (i.e. read christian) you would think the seals have begun to be broken. watch the movie with Demi Moore, where she stops the second coming by sacrificing herself for her child. in the movie one of the seals that her tenant who turns out to the man himself Jesus breaks a sealed parchement and drops it into the sea and the fishes in the sea died . sounds to me like we should start watching for the red moon and hail in June.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
sad event but we reap what we sow, you dump stuff in the ocean that kills its inhabitants eventually that will come back to affect you. People have yet to learn that we are the Earth and the harm we do to it is the harm we do to ourselves.
Mother forgive us and shine a light for us to find a way
Merry ye meet and Merry part
Until we merry meet again
Bright Blessings
Merlyn
