With close this
painful description of the state of our oceans, I
put myself a question: in which state will be the oceans for the future
generations? Will they be able to repair the serious errors made still today ? A thing is
sure, if one wants to preserve a life diversified on our old planet, it is necessary as of
today changing way of life because the man, sorcerer's apprentice, are degrading in an
irreversible way his marine environment. Being given their vastness, the seas and the
oceans are regarded as sewers without end... The dimension of alarm was reached. More
over, because of enormousin crease in its population, the man kind needs always more
ground and food. It must however learn how to preserve the continental biotopes on which
it depends, as well as the immense reserve of potential food which is the sea. If the
destroyed man and poisons water, with long, it is it self which it destroys and poisons.
The desert will advance and the sea will not be soon any more in capacity to provide the
richness that it so liberally gave him during centuries, without never to have received,
in exchange, the respect to which it has the right.

industrial and radioactive, eutrophication by nutritive salts and organic matter, the seas
became dumps. In short, like writes it celebrates it American ecologist Barry Commoner:
"there is not quite simply
enough water on the ground to absorb and neutralize all the poisons which the man introduced into the
medium" .
