	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Biodiversity Loss The World Ocean is the greatest reservoir of life on Earth. It contains over 98% of the planet’s living space, and supports much of Earth’s biodiversity. Yet Less than 5% of the water and 2% of the sea floor have been explored.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Risks to Coastal Communities With more development along the coasts, rising sea level, more intense storms, and rapid disappearance of protective wetlands, coral reefs, and mangrove forests, coastal communities are at greater risk.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 One World Ocean One interconnected body of water, the World Ocean regulates Earth’s weather and climate, holds much of Earth’s biodiversity, and untold biological, chemical, and mineral resources.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Ocean Pollution Most of the problems in the World Ocean result from the waste products of human activities on land.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Human Population Human population is exploding. Most of the growth is in developing countries…in the Southern Hemisphere, where of the oceans’ biodiversity is concentrated. Pressures on resources and ecosystems are tremendous, but it hasn’t always been this way.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Global Warming There is no question that our world is warming. Impacts on the ocean, biodiversity, societies, and public health will be profound.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Food from the Sea The World Ocean seemed like an inexhaustible source of seafood. But it has limits. Over-fishing, pollution, and destruction of marine habitats threaten a major food supply—and the main source of protein—for one-fifth of the world’s population.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Energy from the Sea Harnessing renewable energy from the ocean could add an important source of clean energy for a better, more sustainable future.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Destructive Fishing The goal of fishing is to catch selected species, so-called target species, but current fishing methods often catch large numbers of unintended species—called bycatch—and cause damage to the environment.
	Exhibits: Ocean on the Edge Gallery \| Conservation Issues October 8, 2008 Coral Reefs Preserving the rich ecosystems of coral reefs and mangroves might be one of the best ways we can help defend coastal developments against the power of destructive waves.
