Changing seas affect jumbo squid. Human induced global warming is now known to cause ocean waters to become more acidic due to the absorption of excessive carbon dioxide. An international team of researchers are forecasting a corresponding decline in the population of jumbo squid as the organ systems in these marine animals are especially vulnerable to shifts of temperature, acidification and lack of oxygen. Our gratitude international researchers for informing us of this alarming trend. May we heed the call to be more considerate citizens in supporting the delicate balance of life on our globe.

Supreme Master Ching Hai had stated to our Association members during an International Seminar in August 2008 the following about the importance of a balanced ecosystem for marine beings dead zones:  International Seminar August 2008

Supreme Master Ching Hai: So many whales and dolphins, they wash up ashore and die. There are so many dead zones in the ocean. It’s suffocating them, so they have to swim out of the water where it’s full of the poisonous gas that has been released! They cannot bear it, they cannot breathe. So they have to get out of it. For them, life is in the water, but if water is full of poison, of course they come out. But when they come out, they die, too.

Because they have no water. They stay in the ocean, they die; they came out, they die. There is no choice for them. This is the worst of all cruelty, that the people don’t take care of the environment. And let all beings keep dying like this. Just to be vegetarian, how difficult can it be? Even the dolphins have to swim out of the ocean; because they think like that they can survive, even risking their lives. So why not we can just can change to vegetarian diet?
