World Ocean Conference Clinton
The World Ocean Conference (WOC) is currently taking place this week in Madado Indonesia and Secretary Clinton offered these remarks in recognition of the important work being done:
Here is some background on the WOC from their website:
2009 World Ocean Conference
The oceans play major roles in determining the world climate system, but increasing rate of global climate change in recent times has threatened marine lives and the livelihood of the people.
The latest legal framework that constitutes and governs the use if the ocean, The Convention on the Law of the Sea, (UNCLOS) 1982 is now 27 years. The climate system and the pressure to the world’s oceans have dramatically changed since. In addition the law did not really address the ways in which governments manage maritime affaires related to the impacts of global climate change on the oceans, or indeed the role of the oceans in the phenomena of global climate change.
The world has at least experienced a number of economic recessions and crises since 1982. The Asia Financial crisis in 1997 and global recession today have caused major upsets to the ocean. Over fishing and in manners that destruct the ecosystem of the ocean, pollutions and coastal degradation have terribly impacted the balance of marine ecosystem. The recent global recession will threaten the oceans as well because poverty and unemployment will turn global populations to seek means of subsistence from the oceans.
To address these threats, Indonesia has taken the initiative to organize a World Ocean Conference (WOC) in Manado on the 11th – 15th May 2009, hereafter referred to as WOC2009, which will be attended by Ministers and High Level Government Officials and High Level Officials from Multilateral Organizations.

Days Of World Ocean
“The first observance of World Oceans Day allows us to highlight the many ways in which oceans contribute to society. It is also an opportunity to recognize the considerable challenges we face in maintaining their capacity to regulate the global climate, supply essential ecosystem services and provide sustainable livelihoods and safe recreation.”
Ban Ki-moon
Secretary General
United Nations
World Oceans Day (WOD), was officially declared by the United Nations as June 8th each year beginning in 2009.
The Oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface – they have a significant effect on our climate and play a crucial role in maintaining the many ecosystem services such as fisheries.
The celebration of WOD is an opportunity every year to honor the world’s ocean, celebrate the products the ocean provides, such as seafood, as well as marine life itself for aquariums, pets, and also a time to appreciate its own intrinsic value.
As part of the commemorations of WOD, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has recently released a report that brings to the surface the growing global problem of marine litter.
The report serves as a reminder that carelessness and indifference is proving deadly for our oceans and its inhabitants.

Take action!
Here at Greenpeace we believe that without the oceans, life on Earth would not be possible.
They pulse across the globe driving the natural forces which maintain life on our planet: providing vital sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products; creating over half our oxygen; driving weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world; moderating the climate, absorbing carbon dioxide, and transporting water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined.
Dead oceans= a dead planet.
In celebration WOD we believe that this special day is also a day of action as a proper response to the need to defend our oceans because without them, life on Earth cannot exist.

The KanDoo! Way
Sustainable and Green Initiatives
KanDoo! loves the ocean and have seen what man can do to harm her if we are not careful to protect her. That’s why wherever and whenever possible, we turn to ecologically friendly alternatives. Every engine that kan runs biodiesel or a biodiesel blend. KanDoo! is the largest consumer of biodiesel than any water-based activity in Hawaii. They re-use or recycle everything they possibly can. You won’t find any paper or disposable plastic aboard any KanDoo! vessel. Even the food scraps are recycled as feedstock! KanDoo! conducts voluntary environmental reviews of our operations and share the results with the local green community to see where we can improve on our efforts.
Even our uniforms are made of eco-friendly materials whenever possible. Rather than neoprene wetsuits, which use petroleum producs and take thousands of years to return to the earth, we use limestone-based wetsuits. They cost a bit more, but they’re worth it in our minds.
KanDoo! Kommitment
You will have lifetime experiences with KanDoo! They guarantee it. If not they will make it right. Or we will give your money back.
