At Our Ocean in Greece last year, I was asked what topics we are not talking about.
I answered, "If you ask people in my community what the three greatest threats to the ocean are, they would answer, the 'military, the military, and the military'."

They help preserve America’s dominance in the Pacific. They’re paying a painful price
The Pacific isle of Ebeye supports a nearby U.S. base that serves as a bulwark against a Chinese missile attack. But conditions are harsh: Diabetes is rampant and lifespans are short. The island’s neglect may provide an opening for Beijing.

B.C. anglers flock for sockeye, but experts warn of decades-long declines for salmon
But fisheries experts are cautioning that this year's strong sockeye returns should not distract from declines in salmon populations.
