Marine experts have warned that we are in the middle of an unprecedented high-risk period of marine species extinction. On our watch the world鈥檚 oceans and natural wonders like The Great Barrier Reef have borne the brunt of a potent combination of over-fishing, pollution, unparalleled mining and farming run-offs, the acidification of the seas caused by increasing carbon dioxide emissions and the disruptive results of rising water temperature disruption.听Our panel, three highly regarded marine scientists, discuss the vast challenge ahead to reverse these dire predictions for our blue heart. As Sylvia Earle herself said. 鈥淟ife depends on the ocean, and to save it we must love it.鈥
