This is the largest-ever deployment project to monitor the health of the planet's oceans, covering 20 percent of the world's surface. We're proud to have worked with more than a dozen national and international agencies, including The University of Iowa, University of Michigan, NOAA, USAID, World Bank, and The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Our Mission
The Ocean Health Study, established with support from The University of Iowa, is an ambitious effort to map the health of the world's oceans and the people who depend on the ocean for their livelihoods and communities. This ambitious goal reflects the fact that as more people and more nations rely on the ocean for livelihoods and the development they support, the health of the Earth's oceans is critical to the wellbeing of the entire planet.
The Ocean Health Study is a joint program of The University of Iowa and its Center for

Voted Atlantic due to the Baltic sea / the Danish Straits / the North Sea / Sea of the Hebrides.

My homer choice for fav body of water is definitely The Minch though.

Luing - Don Paterson

When the day comes, as the day surely must,
When it is asked of you and you refuse
to take that lover’s wound again, that cup
of emptiness that is our one completion,

I’d say go here, maybe, to our unsung
innermost isle: Kilda’s antithesis,
yet still with its own tiny stubborn anthem,
its yellow milkwort and its stunted kye.

Leaving the motherland by a two car raft,
the littlest of the fleet, you cross the minch
to find yourself, if anything, now deeper
in her arms than ever; sharing her breath.

Watching the red vans sliding silently
between her hills. In such intimate exile,
who’d believe the burn behind the house
the straitened ocean written on the map?

Here, beside the fordable Atlantic
reborn into a secret candidacy,
the fontanelles reopen one by one
in the palms, then the breastbone and the brow,

Aching at the shearwater’s wail, the rowan
that falls beyond all seasons. One morning
you hover on the threshold, knowing for certain
the first touch of the light will finish you.

I guessed correctly again

I don't like the chances of selecting the correct Indian Ocean above.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Gotta be Mediterranean for me. I mean, Asia, Africa AND Europe, plus loads of great food. Either that or the Indian Ocean, because I love spice.

Hey esby check out this thread:

Post Here When You're Tempted to Troll

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

I blame your parents. And society. Most of all myself. We've all let you down terribly.

• you are older than my parents
• lol

why there are two Central Pacific options?

i know they're trolling by i agree. it's not cool to call people "it."

that's my contribution to the discourse for today.✌️

I am certain that esby is entirely sincere in expressing personal concern about dehumanizing pronouns, because trolls are very sensitive to such matters.

When it suits them.

i said it was no big deal. but, own what you were doing! and don't forget to vote in the poll.

own what you were doing!

I tagged you "it". I feel no shame for doing so. The rules of trolling do not require I give you any dignity and I chose not to, for by choosing to troll you forsake such social niceties. That enough ownership for you?

this is pretty lightweight trolling??? I mean, I don't think I would even call this trolling.

Where is arbiter deems?

and don't forget to vote in the poll.

ok irl lol

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Woke is me

The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play

Vieil océan, aux vagues de cristal, tu ressembles proportionnellement à ces marques azurées que l'on voit sur le dos meurtri des mousses ; tu es un immense bleu, appliqué sur le corps de la terre : j'aime cette comparaison. Ainsi, à ton premier aspect, un souffle prolongé de tristesse, qu'on croirait être le murmure de ta brise suave, passe, en laissant des ineffaçables traces, sur l'âme profondément ébranlée, et tu rappelles au souvenir de tes amants, sans qu'on s'en rende toujours compte, les rudes commencements de l'homme, où il fait connaissance avec la douleur, qui ne le quitte plus. Je te salue, vieil océan !

Vieil océan, ta forme harmonieusement sphérique, qui réjouit la face grave de la géométrie, ne me rappelle que trop les petits yeux de l'homme, pareils à ceux du sanglier pour la petitesse, et à ceux des oiseaux de nuit pour la perfection circulaire du contour. Cependant, l'homme s'est cru beau dans tous les siècles. Moi, je suppose plutôt que l'homme ne croit à sa beauté que par amour-propre ; mais, qu'il n'est pas beau réellement et qu'il s'en doute, car, pourquoi regarde-t-il la figure de son semblable avec tant de mépris ? Je te salue, vieil océan !

Vieil océan, tu es le symbole de l'identité : toujours égal à toi-même. Tu ne varies pas d'une manière essentielle, et, si tes vagues sont quelque part en furie, plus loin, dans quelque autre zone, elles sont dans le calme le plus complet. Tu n'es pas comme l'homme, qui s'arrête dans la rue, pour voir deux boule-dogues s'empoigner au cou, mais, qui ne s'arrête pas, quand un enterrement passe ; qui est ce matin accessible et ce soir de mauvaise humeur ; qui rit aujourd'hui et pleure demain. Je te salue, vieil océan !

Vieil océan, il n'y aurait rien d'impossible à ce que tu caches dans ton sein de futures utilités pour l'homme. Tu lui as déjà donné la baleine. Tu ne laisses pas facilement deviner aux yeux avides des sciences naturelles les mille secrets de ton intime organisation : tu es modeste. L'homme se vante sans cesse, et pour des minuties. Je te salue, vieil océan !

i know they're trolling by i agree. it's not cool to call people "it."

what if "it" is its preferred pronoun?

honestly, i would be uncomfortable referring to a person with the same pronouns i use for objects. it would feel insulting to them.

are there any such persons?

it would feel insulting to them

contempt and disdain have a rightful place among possible responses to people's words and actions. insults have a functional place in the world of rhetoric, as a means of expressing that contempt or disdain.
