Ocean scientists share one million Swedish crown
Oceans are essential to existence of all life on Earth, and yet perhaps
mankind’s most ruthless exploitation is taking place in the seas through
overfishing, pollution and other environmental impact that damages
biological diversity and the very basis for life both underwater and for
humans on land.
For this reason The Göteborg Award for Sustainable Development in 2010
goes to two prominent persons who have in different ways strongly
contributed to solutions for sustainable relations with our oceans.
The prize, one million Swedish crowns, will be divided equally between
Ken Sherman from the U.S.A. and Randal Arauz from Costa Rica.
