Percolating through this special oceans issue are news stories, features, opinion pieces, book reviews and photo galleries with a common theme: the importance of our oceans. As we increase our knowledge of the complex interdependencies that sustain biodiversity, it becomes increasingly obvious that there would be no life on our blue planet without healthy oceans. It’s also increasingly obvious that we can no longer continue to degrade our oceans with impunity. We now know that extracting tin ore from the oceans to keep us supplied with ever fancier mobile phones and other gadgets (see Dredging the depths Page 20) has terrible costs, and that the destruction of seagrass beds (see Blue seagrass of home Page 30) is also taking away a vital carbon sink in a warming planet.
