Over the ages people have loved to fantasize about, explore, and tame the wild parts of our Earth. We have run all over most of the continents, so this has brought many people to say that the oceans are the last frontier. Well per human standard we cannot allow that to happen anymore for a number reasons, many of them political. It's nice to see that Obama has his administration working on this. GOOD did a short article explaining the importance of 'resource management' in the world's oceans.
This issue is of particular concern for a scientist like myself primarily because communication about zoning of the ocean must include discussion of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and other zonation strategies that will aim to maintain a healthy ocean.
