Help Wanted Indonesia: Oceans Matter
by Daniel Orsini
·
Here are some crazy facts for your morning read. Approximately 71 percent of the Earth's surface is completely covered by water, and staggeringly, our oceans account for up to 96.5 percent of all the world's water combined. "Waterworld" might have been a misguided nineties folly concocted from the visionary mind of director/star and half-merman Kevin Costner, but the reality is, it's not pure fiction. We all live on a planet with a serious volume of water. The world's oceans and land are intricately linked in the climate system. Changes in one can significantly impact the other. To the people from Lombok, Indonesia, this is all too familiar.
