This is how we like to ^ think of our seas, teeming with aquatic life, crystal clear, safe.

In reality it's not always the case. Greater understanding has made the world realise we cannot go on dumping environmentally hazardous materials into the oceans. # .

It is easy to turn a blind eye to the problem of "somebody else's ocean" and the inherent disaster it may one day cause.

Governments may apply ever more stringeht criteria but it is the responsibility of the marine industry to impose it's own stricter . guidelines to protect the environment for future generations.
