Remarks of Dr. Jane Lubchenco, NOAA Administrator, at the 2011 National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment |
|
We are gathered here at a critical time for oceans. Make no mistake: Oceans are changing. They are changing rapidly and radically, with profound consequences for humanity. Hope remains but time is running out. Now is the time for engagement if we wish to redirect the global trajectory and transition to sustainable uses and to healthy oceans and coasts.... The once healthy, productive coastal ocean off the beautiful Pacific Northwest coast became a seasonal dead zone each year due to changing patterns of winds and oceanic circulation that are most likely due to climate change. From the tropics to the poles, disruption and depletion were playing out in alarming ways. The unintended -- but nevertheless very real -- consequences of coastal development, overfishing, nutrient pollution and climate change were taking their toll. As a result, I began to expand my scientific efforts and work with colleagues to develop solutions: • Ways to use oceans without using them up; • Ways to reduce nutrient and chemical pollution flowing from the land; • Ways to farm seafood sustainably; • Ways to limit and adapt to the impacts of climate change; • Ways to recover the lost bounty and health of oceans so they can provide the services that people want and need. |
