Cousteau Urges Nations to Save Dying Oceans
Jacques Yves Cousteau warned that the world’s oceans may die early next century and urged major nations to allocate one percent of arm budget to marine research. He cited pollution and overuse, calling for 5 to 6 percent of GNP to cleanse seas, with over $50 billion from the United States. He said taming international competition is essential to save the waters. Former astronaut Scott Carpenter echoed concerns, urging a single civilian agency to coordinate ocean exploration, akin to NASA for space.

Coastal protection bill limits Long Beach impact
Conservation leader Dr. Richard Ball says a proposed coastal protection bill would have little effect on Long Beach and its harbor. He notes up to 40 percent of the coast is excluded unless major use changes occur, and local governments would hold most regional commission seats with no moratorium on development. Legislature must approve the plan.
