We Clean Up Our Oceans Through How We Spend Our $.
Article says, "But overall, the U.S. is doing well when it comes to coastal protection and coastal economics, but could improve in the areas of food supply and clean water."
I find this grading system to be rather vague in that it really does not expose the levels of POLLUTION that are daily running off into the ocean. This article reads like a medical exam given for health, while the 'patient' continues to smoke four packs a day and drink alcohol!
Due to the fact that roads do not allow for the filtering effect of the ground, then all of the chemicals and petroleum by-products will run down the roads to the drainage ditches, and then into open water.
Hence it is called URBAN RUNOFF
Every town and every city along a coastline has it. And every time it rains, it is like a major Exxon OIL SPILL that happens to our coastlines.

Monsanto agricultural chemicals, the 'drug' of choice, runs off with all of these oily little drips and drops that are coming out of almost EVERY vehicle older than five years.
Collectively it adds up to one BIG drip and drop and glip and glop, and increasing each year.
You could say, in a funny sort of way, that the humans forgot to put the BOTTOM on every car! There's has been no accountability for the rolling OIL SPILLS that we daily drive.
For example, boats cannot just pump their oily bilge water. First, the oil must be extracted from the water and then consciously disposed of.
Accountability is what this is, and it is a good thing. It has saved our harbors from becoming in much worse shape than they presently are.
Now this accountability needs to come ashore, and responsibility taken with dealing with these LEAKY mechanical contrivances that we choose to use.
And all of this gooey leakiness is self-perpetuating, for it is much EASIER to top off the leaky power steering pump once a day for $1, than it is to shell out $500 for a new one.
The OIL BARONS win again, for we truly VOTE with our dollar.
Get rid of using petroleum and all of its chemical by-products, and the Earth will heal itself. Though, not likely to happen any time soon, for it is a petroleum-based mentality across the board.
For a lasting change to occur, people need to be empowered to have a direct say with where their income taxes go for. Projects that get funded are the ones that people individually support. The one's that don't then fall by the wayside.
What if already operating, non-polluting alternative energy systems were to be subsidized to the same extent that petroleum presently is?
What if Monsanto had to LABEL their GMO products as such? If they are so proud of their achievement, why don't they do so?
Teaching the children to know how to EASILY deal with their toxic waste, and the many ways of how not to create it in the first place.
This will then shift our thinking over to a CLEANER way of getting around.
One system uses a 'Zinc Air battery.' The company's name is ReVolt, and here is their battery technology: http://www.revolttechnology.com/how-it-works.asp.
Read up on Google how swappable 'Zinc Air Batteries' is a game changer for stopping all of this disbursement of petroleum goo, by not needing it in the first place!
We've proved it works with our cordless drills, for when one battery pack is charging up, the other is in use and plugged into our drill.
Our vehicles and houses can become linked together in the same way. Solar PV panels, passive thermal hot water and wind power can give us some good sources for charging up a bank of swappable Zinc Air batteries.
These batteries run electric motors that are built right into the hub of each wheel. Not a new idea, but a good one, and from the year 1901.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd8lBlLc9qY&feature=player_embedded
