 The Bounty of the Sea
by Jacques Cousteau

1. I have observed and studied the oceans closely and I have seen them sicken.
Certain reefs that teemed with fish only ten years ago are now almost lifeless. The
ocean bottom has been raped by trawlers. Priceless wetlands have been destroyed
by land fill. And everywhere are sticky globs of oil, plastic refuse, and unseen clouds
of poisonous effluents. Often when I describe the symptoms of the ocean’s sickness,
I hear remarks like “ they’re only whales.” But I assure you that our destinies are
linked with theirs. For if the ocean should die, this would signal not only the end of
marine life but all other animals and plants of this earth, including man.

2. The ocean would then become one enormous cesspool. Billions of decaying
bodies would create such as a stench that man would be forced to leave all the
coastal regions.

3. The oceans acts as the earth’s buffer. It maintains a balance between salts and
gases which make life possible. But dead seas would have no buffering effect. The
carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere would start on a steady climb, and when
it reached a certain level, a” greenhouse effect” would be created. The heat that
normally radiates outward from the earth to space would be blocked by the carbon
dioxide and the sea level temperatures would increase.

4. One catastrophic effect of this heat would be melting of the icecaps at both the
North and South Poles. As a result, the ocean would rise by 100 feet or more enough
to flood almost all of the world’s major cities. These rising waters would drive one-
third of the earth billions inland, creating famine, chaos, and disease on a scale
almost impossible to imagine.

5. Meanwhile, the surface of the ocean would have scrummed over by a film of
decayed matter and would no longer give water freely to the skies through
evaporation. Rain would become a rarity, creating global drought and more famine.

6. The wretched remnant of the human race would now be packed on the remaining
highlands, starving and struggling to survive. Then, they would be visited by the final
plague, anoxia (lack of oxygen). This would be caused by the extinction of the
plankton algae and the reduction of land vegetation, the two sources that supply
the oxygen you are now breathing.

7. And so man would finally die, slowly gasping out his life on some barren hill. His
heirs would be bacteria and a few scavenger insects.
