Ocean Impact Map Reveals Human Reach Global



From Ocean Impact Map Reveals Human Reach Global (Scientific American):



"Fishing, fertilizer runoff, pollution, shipping, climate change—these are just a few of the ways that human activities influence the oceans that cover 70 percent of Earth's surface. And in all that vastness—139 million square miles (360 million square kilometers)—less than 4 percent remains unaffected, and more than a third has suffered serious human impacts, according to a new map published in Science."
