❑ TRADUÇÃO - TEXTO:

Adventure journalist Peter Heller took a voyage he never expected: crusader to protect ocean life. He accepted the invitation to crew on board Sea Shepherd's ship Farley Mowat for the 2005-2006 Antarctic campaign. He chronicled this two-month journey in his book "The Whale Warriors: The Battle at the Bottom of the World to Save the Planet's Largest Mammals".

O jornalista de aventuras Peter Heller embarcou numa viagem que nunca esperou: cruzado pela proteção da vida nos oceanos. Aceitou o convite para tripular a bordo do navio Farley Mowat da Sea Shepherd para a campanha antárctica de 2005-2006. Narrou esta viagem de dois meses no seu livro "The Whale Warriors: A Batalha no Fundo do Mundo para Salvar os Maiores Mamíferos do Planeta".
"I've always been drawn to the ocean but the experience kindled a fire in me to protect marine mammals," Heller said in an interview. "The ocean is so much a part of the web of life. If the ocean dies, we die too."

"Sempre me senti atraído pelo oceano, mas a experiência despertou em mim o desejo de proteger os mamíferos marinhos", disse Heller numa entrevista. "O oceano faz parte da teia da vida. Se o oceano morrer, nós também morremos".
In the November 2006 issue of Science, Heller said, a report by an international team of scientists studying data over 58 years declared that if current trends of fishing and pollution continue, every fishery across the planet will be totally destroyed by 2048. The oceans as an ecosystem would completely collapse.

Na edição de novembro de 2006 da Science, disse Heller, um relatório de uma equipe internacional de cientistas que estuda dados de mais de 58 anos declarou que, se as tendências atuais de pesca e poluição continuarem, todas as pescarias do planeta serão totalmente destruídas até 2048. Os oceanos como um ecossistema entraria em colapso total.
"Jacques Cousteau said 30 years ago that the oceans were dying in our lifetime," Heller noted.

"Jacques Cousteau disse há 30 anos que os oceanos estavam morrendo durante a nossa vida", observou Heller.
"Half the coral reef is dead or dying. People don't pay attention because they're under the surface."

"Metade dos recifes de coral estão mortos ou morrendo. As pessoas não prestam atenção porque estão debaixo da superfície".
“Marine algae create the majority of oxygen in our atmosphere. If the oceans die, it could cause great destruction. It's in our own self-interest to take action right now," Heller said.

"As algas marinhas produzem a maior parte do oxigénio da nossa atmosfera. Se os oceanos morrerem, isso pode causar uma grande destruição. É do nosso próprio interesse tomar medidas imediatamente", afirmou Heller.
