Speech title:<\/strong> \u201cAll life on Earth depends upon healthy Oceans – Choose your lifeline\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speaker
<\/strong>Howard is an internationally acclaimed marine biologist, now takes the helm as Chief Scientific Officer of GOES Foundation (Global Oceanic Environmental Survey). As an academic and successful businessman, Howard\u2019s 30+ year career has been focused on one vision \u2014 to make the aquatic environment safer and cleaner for humans and all the other organisms on which our life depends. Along with his team of marine biologists, and an experienced globally-connected group of policy makers, communication experts and management consultants are the driving force behind GOES. Being aware that all life on Earth depends on a healthy Oceanic ecosystem and that climate change is all about carbon dioxide, (but that most of the effort by Governments has gone into reducing emissions) and that it is known that elimination of aquatic environmental pollution from toxic-for-ever chemicals such as PCBs and Oxybenzone is primordial to avoid ocean acidification and a complete collapse of the entire marine environment, Howards focus is about restoring oceanic ecosystems to sequester carbon dioxide.
Stating that if we don\u2019t eliminate pollution within 10 years then we lose the Marine Ecosystem and biodiversity in 25 years, along with the food supply for 2 billion people, the GOES Foundation is now the primary focus of Dr. Howard Dryden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
