Leading marine biologist, Professor Callum Roberts, provided an address in April on ABC 24 coverings many issues relevant for management and protection of places like Roebuck Bay and the Kimberley coast. It is a fascinating address, as he covers noise pollution, global warming, coral reefs, predatory crabs moving into the Antarctic, dead zones and vampire squids from hell! What is helpful is the practical advice on what can be done to look after our coastal waters…
Key to Roberts’ strategies for protection of oceans is the establishment of a network of protected marine zones. He suggests closing 30% of the oceans to control overfishing. The world wouldn’t go hungry and fish stocks would be replenished.
Have a listen, after all we are all evolved from the oceans!
