This project serves as a global role model which demonstrates how individuals and collective efforts by those who are concerned about the health of our oceans can be part of the solution. We feel that Hawaii is an ideal location for the conference because of its geographical location. Situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, many developing economic countries and political entities are our neighbors. The Pacific Rim countries, including the United States, must work together now to keep our oceans clean. The seas provide many of our foods and are a major recreational resource.
Pollution creates contaminated food sources and adversely affects recreational activities.
Microscopic creatures in the ocean generate much of the oxygen that we breathe here on Planet Earth. Pollution is killing these microscopic creatures as it harmfully modifies their environment. It is urgent that we all work together to keep our ocean safe from pollution and contamination. If you have any suggestions concerning the conference and about whom you would recommend for speakers, please let us know. There are many other ways you can help as well.
