How to Protect the Blue Heart of the Planet

By Sylvia Earle

 
 

TED, February 26, 2009

In this TED talk, renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle expresses her desire for a global ocean policy: "I wish that you would use all means at your disposal to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas, hope spots large enough to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet." We currently protect less than 1 percent of the ocean, and 90 percent of large sea life has disappeared in the last century.
