    Hope no one comes to this spot and wants to drill for oil, gas or as they mostly do, for fun.

    I was going to ask about their website- I see that they have a you tube channel. It’s great news- just makes you more upset that not enough people are doing something about climate change

    Basically we discovered less than %5 of our oceans (i heard its about %1 ! )
    And we just destroyed half of it !
    But over %95 still intact right?!

      Just because we haven’t discovered it doesn’t mean we haven’t destroyed it.

    Good that we found one… So that in the next 30 years we could destroy it all again.!!! It’s not like everyone would leave it as it is …!!
