Professor calls for support to grow marine geosciences to understand oceans

Prior to the United Nations World Oceans Day on June 8, University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) Professor of Marine Geology and University of Ulster in Northern Ireland visiting Professor Andrew Green has called for more support to grow the field of marine geosciences in South Africa. Ocean environments are slowly becoming degraded, with 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed.
