This is a really interesting documentary I found about the affect human beings have on the ocean's biodiversity and the implications of a rise in atmospheric CO2 on the oceans. If this needs to be moved to the documentaries section I apologise, but it seemed appropriate for the scientific/nature section. Enjoy!

YES! Spread the word! Mankind is raping the planet's oceans right now. Overfishing, ocean acidification, and warming sea temperature from climate change are resulting in on of the most dramatic mass extinctions in the ocean's history. Imagine hunting and devouring 82 million tons of animals from the the land each year, because that is how many fish we are taking from the seas yearly. The problem is that people cannot sea the havoc we are creating in the oceans. When you cut down a forest, people can see the devastation, but when you overfish an fish stock, or when a coral reef bleaches, few people ever SEE it occurring. That is why it is so crucial that we raise awareness in the public! Otherwise our coral reefs, our sharks, our beautiful, beautiful seas will be doomed. +rep to you sir.. Thank you for voicing your concern.
