The Need to Bring Order to Ocean Management
- "Bring order to the oceans. Like urban sprawl, we have marine and coastal sprawl, as the oceans today face a wealth of unprecedented activity. Wind farms and other energy facilities, commercial fishing, diverse recreational uses, offshore drilling and shipping superhighways are all competing to stake their claims. We urgently need a comprehensive plan for the oceans' many uses, in a way that sustains our oceans' resources." - quote by Vikki Spruill of the Ocean Conservancy; quote appeared in this Washington Post article.
