THE OCEAN IS BROKEN


Recent article discussing the lack of fish in the ocean, and therefore the lack of anything else. It talks about all manner of human debris seen during this voyage, how 10 years ago the same trip was done and fish caught each day for dinner and birds flying above. Now there are no birds calling and flying, because there is no fish. theres been a few articles out recently talking about over fishing and all the garbage in the ocean. Heres another one http://aeon.co/magazine/nature-and-cosmos/a-radical-model-for-saving-californias-ocean-fisheries/ There is a huge amount of context for this project, stuff is constantly happening that is relevant.
