Pollution and the Marine Environment
Like no other creature on earth, humans have had a profound impact on their environment. An upwardly-spiralling world population, and its consequential non-sustainable infrastructure, has placed strains on the earth's delicate ecosystem that will reverberate for many years to come. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the fragile ocean.
Humans and their technologies produce a wide range of pollutants that effect the chemical composition of sea water. Any of these pollutants, in subtle to excessive concentrations, will affect marine organisms and the health of the oceans, which in-turn affects the health of the creatures who rely increasingly on the ocean as a food source.
The entire planet is involved in and affected by environmental pollution. Concentrations of pollution occur close to and in proportion to concentrations of human population and industry. NASA's satellite night-image of earth graphically reveals the concentrations of human population on earth in the developing and developed regions.
The areas of highest population and technological development appear luminescent and are easily identified on a clear night. The northern hemisphere quite obviously suffers from the greatest impact of environmental pollution. Australia, by comparison, is the most remote and relatively unpopulated region of the planet and, while the impact of pollution is a serious management and moral issue in Australia, its effects are still relatively slight in a global context.
The Great Barrier Reef, which is the source of sea water for Cea Ocean Mineral Superfood production, is under strict pollution management controls and regular surveillance by active environmental groups such as Greenpeace.
This unique biosphere is one of the natural wonders of the world, and it is in the national and world interest to sustainably manage and maintain its pristine state. Fortunately, these two geopolitical facts converge to ensure the ongoing protection of a viable marine ecosystem, and a pure and perpetual source for the production of Cea Ocean Mineral Superfood.
Soil degradation and its effects on the ocean
Since the introduction of industrialised farming, farmers have been using only three basic minerals for ground crops - nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Each year, without the addition of full spectrum minerals, the soil's natural resources are further and further depleted; in industrialised countries certain necessary minerals can no longer be found in the soil. The essential trace minerals we need to maintain health and prevent disease may now be absent from our daily food intake. 
'Colloidal Trace Minerals Dietary Supplement' TJ Clark Australia 2000
Minerals lost from intensive farming techniques ultimately end up in the ocean, which is one of the reasons why the ocean represents a perfect source of minerals to replenish those that may be depleted from our diet. The more our soils are tilled and exposed to weather, the faster the soluble minerals are leached out and sent on their way to the sea.
If the minerals are not available in the soil they will not be found in plants. The mineral content in plants can vary as much as 200 per cent (1,000 per cent in specific minerals), which affects all the forms of life that are dependent on vegetation for their survival.
The hollowness of modern food shocks me still ... Our soils have been murdered by 'fertilisers', which kill the tiny fungi that create soil nutrients. Our agricultural products look bloated and spotless but are increasingly tasteless. And now we have hydroponics! and genetic engineering! So, if you can buy organic, do. Meanwhile, if you're starting from behind, or already ill, you may have to buy a mineral supplement to catch up. A Shame!
