I always look forward to some positive news about places that are recuperating after man's heavy handed treading. I would say a prime example would be the Poor Knights in New Zealand is a great example of what can be done if you give nature a chance to fix itself. It is the oldest (context 30years or so) marine sanctuary in the world and exhibits a beauty of flora and fauna that is rarified today. We need to protect more places in the sea. Experts estimate that we need between 5-10% of our oceans protected in order to have the chance at sustaining our ocean system.

There are efforts being made in some local areas of the world that are showing signs of rehabilitation but we have a long road ahead. We need everyone to be advocates of this effort.
