Our oceans are in trouble, struggling under the strain of oil drilling, pollution, overfishing, global warming and acidification. Like the Clean Air Act for our air, and the Clean Water Act for our water, we need a Healthy Oceans Act for our oceans.

One of the things that we can do to help save our seas is to choose to eat less seafood from the ocean. Even farmed fish (now fifty percent of all fish eaten worldwide) uses ocean bycatch in its feed pellets, and can contribute to freshwater depletion and polluting runoff. I suggest that many households could set up their own aquaponics systems, combining the best features of aquaculture and hydroponics, with fish waste fertilising vegetables, and vegetable waste helping feed some fish species. It also uses as little as ten percent of the water that ground-grown vegetables do. See http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/systems
