You’ll enjoy this paper ~ Thanks McCauley et al for this great effort & awesome graphics 🙂
We even have a smart new word to describe our destruction of animals ::: defaunation. How very sad 🙁

Take careful note of some the main differences between marine & terrestrial ecosystems, fauna & flora. Remember too how many times we’ve mentioned “out of sight, out of mind”. In other words if what we are doing in the global ocean had happened on land: there would have been protests worldwide. But nobody sees and so nobody cares 🙁 [except me & a few other stalwarts ::: we see & we care ~ but we are too few].
I have downloaded the document Mike and will look at it at some stage.
Thanks for posting.
More on the same topic 🙁
