We'll look at sea level rise.

The equalization of the oceanic

And there are a lot of other pressures.

We'll look at ocean warming.

And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.

And Dave Gallo signed on.

In the early '70s,

And we're letting industry run the show.

Well, law, Soylent, oceanography...?

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

A meat eater in this room will consume, on average, 8,000 animals in their lifetime.

Keep that in mind.

Dr. Satoshi Takada. Marine biologist. Lieutenant Commander for the Navy since 1997.

To me, the most mind bending example of the interconnectedness of the ocean comes from an acoustic experiment where oceanographers took a ship to the southern Indian Ocean, deployed an underwater loudspeaker and played back a sound.

And by the time I turned 16,

We have some of the partners lined up.

The really scary things though are the physical, chemical, oceanographic things that are happening.

I then, in the last few years,

pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

If you're in IT, India, obviously, is the place to be at the moment.

We'll map it within hours, have the maps disseminated out to the major universities.

She studies marine biology.

We need to address that issue.

And as it does so, it makes the ocean more acidic.

So stay tuned for further information.

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

For a variety of reasons they're dangerous, but we feel that OOl, this Ocean Observatory Initiative, which the National Science Foundation has begun to fund, has the potential to really transform things.

like black carbon, that is soot.

(Laughter)

Well, there's also another program, in another agency within our government, in ocean exploration.

But what's unusual about the Costa Rica Dome is, in fact, it's not a permanent place.

So, Charlie Veron came up with this statement last year

I've been working on ocean pollution for quite a long time the impacts on marine life and particularly the impacts on marine mammals.

We made a chip that has every known virus ever discovered on it.

Japan is also surrounded by oceans.

And this is what most marine scientists have seen too.

But it's not just the carbonate producers that are affected.

One of these days we will. ( mellow theme playing ) WOMAN ( over radio )

Well, I could stand here for hours, but, of course, I'm not allowed to do that.

If it's too big or too toxic for a landfill, deep six it!

Japan is a country with advanced environmental technologies.

But I miss the sea already.

There are four oceans in the world.

I've taken them camping in the kelp forests of California.
