More than half of the surface of the ocean is targeted by industrial fishing, he said, adding that 90 percent of large fish in the ocean are gone. \u201cWe ate them in the last 100 years,\u201d he said.

Gore noted that it is never too late to do so, and pointed to policy changes. \u201cWe are subsidizing the burning of fossil fuels,\u201d he said. \u201cTaxpayers around the world are being forced to subsidize burning of fossil fuels at a rate 38 times larger than the amount of money that\u2019s used to encourage the shift to carbon-free energy.\u201d <\/p><p>As President of Chile, Bachelet set specific policies to protect the oceans. \u201cWhat we need when we address climate change and ocean preservation is a change in behavior,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need to educate people.

We have a lot of work to do right here on planet earth before we dump billions of dollars into that.\u201d<\/p><p>If everyone knew how serious this problem is, said Jensen, everyone would become activists. \u201cNobody can do everything, but everybody can do something,\u201d she said.<\/p><p>One good sign is that government coalitions, such the G7 and G20, have made climate and the oceans a priority.
