Happy World Oceans Day!

Today, June 8, is World Oceans Day, so I thought I should post at least a little something (even if it will likely be my shortest post yet). And this seemed fitting, given the international scope of the story: The UN has apparently been reading Running On! Check my "Bad Idea" post of November 13, 2007 and then check the recent UN agreement to implement a global moratorium on ocean fertilization. As will be evident from the 11/17/2007 post, clearly I think this moratorium is a good idea.

Coincidentally, I was at the UN not long after this agreement was signed to give a seminar on a new report on management of the coastal ocean. Rest assured, once the final report is posted online, I'll provide the link...
