From my vantage point, it seems that we romanticize oceans and even ‘worship’ at their shores, but the vast majority of people—even those who live on the coasts and eat copious amounts of seafood—remain largely removed from the very real problems threatening oceans’ health. We are likely even further removed from the policy solutions required to help heal them. In other words, the pull of the oceans is currently more symbolic than material when it comes to support for policies that prevent pollution, over-fishing, ocean acidification and other threats to marine health.
