We have a problem in the sea with our crustaceans. It isn't a local thing--it is happening elsewhere as well. I've long worried that the worst of the current extinction event would focus on the sea, because land-based humans don't understand the seriousness of the nautical ecosystem to their existence.
But it is real, and necessary. And parts of our necessary aquaculture are dying.
A lot of this is about dumping waste into the ecosystem. And this is something we could easily stop doing. But we are in an extinction event currently we didn"t even plan to be in, and have only so many ways to sort ourselves out of. I am 50 years old and know that half the world's species have stopped being viable in my lifetime.
We need to become more mindful custodians of the planet we live on. I don't think we can survive any other way.
