SOS advocates immediate proactive solutions. Ocean Pulse has gone to the next level in grand style with the help of many people, especially Don Heacock of Hawaii DLNR, and Karen Chandler of Moondance Hawaii. The project will be doing coral reef studies until 1997. The vision is to establish baseline information and to get communities involved in their reefs. The seas provide many of our foods and are a major recreational resource.
Pollution creates contaminated food sources and adversely affects recreational activities.
Pollution is killing these microscopic creatures as it harmfully modifies their environment. SOS is sponsoring the first international clean ocean conference, Clean Oceans '96. The theme of this year's event is awareness. Awareness is the ability to stand outside of a given system or process, and look into it with perspective and a sense of detachment. No education happens without awareness.
