Probably the most critical challenge for the people of earth over the next decade, is preventing further debris and waste ac***ulation, stopping debris dumping into the ocean, and protecting our oceans effectively to allow the regeneration of ocean species such as sea grass, corals, fish, turtles, whales, & birds. This is not something that can wait, the damage is already reaching critical. For the future of our planet and human survival, we need effective protections and initiatives across the world to help fix the consequences of historical and ongoing human exploitation. The oceans need joined up political will, they need large scale fixed Marine Conservation Zones, and smaller transient ones for fishing. The survival of humanity depends on mankind having a Symbiotic relationship with nature and our environment, on land, and at sea - this years Rio+20 summit may be the last opportunity to effect timely and effective agreements and initiatives for the future sustainability of planet earth - political leaders have to look beyond profit and loss to reach consensus, and agree to a more balanced and shared future.
