Beyond Conservation

About Me

Fed up with the heartbreaking number of turtle, tuna and nemo-sized vacancies in the ocean, Convinced humans are eating marine life out of existence and that fish are food for other marine animals and birds- not humans, and the greatest emergency facing ocean life is industrial fishing, particularly bottom trawling: the obliteration of entire ecosystems for a few expensive meals.

The solution is easy- leave the oceans alone! No trawling, no mining and no pollution/plastics or cigarette butts. 4 billion years of evolution will take care of the rest. MyGen Profile Generator
