Our oceans are too precious, and too imperative for our lives. While you may not have the same passion for the ocean as some of us THALASSOPHILES do, this should alarm you. It is our duty as humans to do what we can, and we have consistently failed to do so, thus bringing us to this point. The reefs could die indefinitely, and we will collectively be the ones to blame.
