What will we do once ALL the fish and mammals (whales) of the oceans are dead?

We need to hold industry accountable for the effects of their products. The ocean is not a toilet to flush all our trash and waste into, it is a resource that we all must protect for future generations. Letting some contaminate it for their own profit at the expense of everyone else and our future is not right.

not only does the EPA need to enforce the clean waer act, they need to enforce the clean drinking water act to insure that the extremely high levels of medications are removed and a viable source of collecting medications is taking th place of dumping meds down the toilet or sink. This pollutes our waterways and nearshore fish and wildlife.

Dumping waste to create environments this dirty is not only bad for the habitat and its inhabitants, but also hurts the economy. Who wants to go to a beach if it is going to make you sick?

Water Quality for Public Safety and Ocean Eco-systems A comprehensive and accurate Water Quality Monitoring System to calculate TMDL for the United States is not in place. This does not mean that we should not act now. In LA and neighboring counties of California notices from the Governors Office and SWRCB have been issued to municipalities and local governments. Even with the prehistoric methods of WQMS being used it was easy to accept that many bodies of water are at risk for public health, and immediate action should be taken to avoid litigation. Read more here http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb4/ The Nature Conservancy explains the U.S. situation and future predicament. “Some 4.5 million hectares of wetlands disappeared in the United States between the 1950s and 1970s, chiefly through conversion to agriculture. “ excerpt from http://www.nature.org/tncscience/misc/art24187.html While water shortage skeptics claim that we could readily desalinate the Oceans, although costly. I pose this question. Which Toxin infested body of Ocean Water should we desalinate first? Support Nature Research on the Front Line. Visit the website.
