Visions of Green and Blue: An Interesting listen: Oceans of Trouble

CBC radio one's 'Quirks and Quarks' had an excellent show on September 12th 2009: 'Oceans of Trouble'. The host Bob McDonald talked with Alanna Mitchell, author of 'Sea Sick, the global ocean in crisis', about the impact of climate change on our oceans. They discussed the five main areas that Mitchell sees as the biggest problems for our oceans: dead zones, acidification, coral reef decline, overfishing and marine debris. McDonald also talks with a number of specialized scientists regarding these five problem areas.
It's a great listen for anyone who is interested in the state of our oceans.
