Anyone who has ever strapped on a scuba tank and put a regulator in their mouth to explore a coral reef knows the serene beauty that lives beneath the waves. Even if you haven’t experienced the awe of diving, you’ll want to read this critically important article about the world’s oceans. It’s unimaginable that the wonder of a live reef may not be something that our grandchildren will be able to experience outside of a zoo. I’m hopeful that enough influential leaders will step up this year to make a difference. By the way, Time’s current print issue has other excellent articles that make a compelling case why 2020 is the tipping point to save earth’s environment as we know it.
