I wasn't sure which forum this belonged in but this site is amazing... If any of you haven't heard of TED yet, sign up for this... It has specialists from all walks of life giving talks on their speciality. The one is on our oceans...

Each and all of these talks are amazing in different ways, no matter how disinteresting or irrelevant you think they are to your life. Great site.

I've seen his full 60-minute lecture (I even met the guy -- he's awesome). He makes some good points, but I am definitely not on board with his claim that science can answer moral questions.
