The importance of oceans to our planet cannot be overstated. In California they have recently created wildlife refuges along the coastline. An interesting approach to protecting the oceans.
In British Columbia a new research initiative is trying to place a value on the natural environment, in this case the oceans along the BC coast. I believe that to bridge the gap between the economy and the environment it is important to speak the same language i.e. dollars. My fear is that environmental stewardship and resources will be traded like commodities with profit being placed ahead of doing the right thing. Isn't that what got us here?
