The Slow Creep of Environmental Decay in the Oceans
- "Instead of focusing on an acute calamitous event like a hurricane or tsunami, we were able to focus on the slow creep of environmental decay in the oceans. That kind of change happens so slowly that most people don't notice. They grow to accept filthy beaches and depleted fishing grounds or bays choked with algae." - quote from Kenneth Weiss, Los Angeles Times reporter of the Pulitzer Prize winning "Altered Oceans." Quote appeared in the Sierra Club's publication, Sierra, May-June 2008 issue, pg. 71.
