In this new series, we focus on the connection between the health of the ocean and the health of the planet. The oceans can affect our health in many ways. They contain many types of microscopic organisms, some of which produce toxins when conditions are right. Eating the contaminated seafood may cause serious illness. Harmful algal blooms are unsafe to touch or swallow, and they can produce airborne toxins that cause health problems when inhaled.
Lest we not forget to briefly mention the plastic pollution which the nexus of Oceans is usually central when looking at plastic pollution.
Anika Dzierlenga and Michelle Tigchelaar discuss the ocean and how changing the way we treat the home to the greatest diversity of major plant, animal, and microbial groups on earth oceans isn’t just about the creatures that live in them, it’s about the people who depend on the them.
