The swift decline of coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, sharks, tunas, groupers, swordfish and other ocean wildlife and the equally swift rise of polluted waters, increasing temperature and changing ocean chemistry are directly linked to extravagant human activity.\u00a0 We also know\u00a0 there are actions that can be taken to stabilize, recover and improve ocean health. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Western Indian Ocean.\u00a0In this volume are eloquent, thoughtful contributions that underscore reasons for hope, with clear evidence that our power to destroy can be countered, decline reversed, ecosystems restored.\u00a0\u00a0 While it is not possible to go back to the planet that today\u2019s grandparents knew, the right actions now can yield for tomorrow\u2019s children a safer, more resilient world.\u00a0 Now we know what our predecessors could not: Protecting the ocean is not an option.
