Please take a look at this short video called Ocean Requiem

Amazing short film shows why we must protect our oceans

It is hosted on the TreeHugger website and is well worth watching, especially in full screen mode. A quote from the website:

Ocean Requiem is a short film by Howard Hall, with original music by Alan Williams. It contains images that are as breathtaking as anything found in The Blue Planet or the water parts of Planet Earth.

Hall said that he created the film as a subtle indictment of over-fishing and gill nets (it ends on a very sad image), and it’s very effective at showing a great number of amazing species in a very short amount of time. . . .

One of the reasons we have lighthouses – to protect and report on any illegal activities in the oceans.
