RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Large-scale disasters like the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and last year's BP oil rig explosion, remind us of the ocean's power and vulnerability. But the truth is, the world's oceans have been in crisis for decades. As one example, consider that 90% of the world's big fish that existed in the 1950s—including the ones we like to eat—are gone. And there's a real possibility that the rest of them could be fished out within the next 50 years.
In the new book Oceana, actor and environmental activist Ted Danson explains the threats our oceans face, and the ways we can all help turn the tide. We're all affected by what happens in, and to, our planet's oceans. So sample some gorgeous oceanic imagery from the pages of Oceana, check out our interview with Ted, a seafood shopping guide, and more.

Let the oceans heal
We need to put a moratorium on all fishing for several years. Let the oceans heal and then take small amounts of fish caught on hook and line rather than drift nets and trawlers. Pay off the fishermen for their nets and boats and let them take other jobs. Would not take much effort, just political will. imarion@BTscene
