Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te ōhanga tuawhitu nui rawa o te ao kei te anga whakamua ki te hinganga. Ko te mana ohaoha e tata ana ki te $24 trillion, ko tetahi e whakaputa ana i te tau e rite ana ki te $2.5 trillion, kei te whakaekehia. Heoi, ehara i te mea ko tētahi o ngā ohaoha G8 taku e kōrero nei, engari ko te "ohaoha nui" o te moana. He mea kua roa rawa te wā e kore ai e aro atu, e kore ai hoki e whakaarotia - ā, kei te tere haere. Ko te hauora me te taonga o te moana e aromatawaitia ana i roto i te pūrongo a WWF i tukuna i te Rāhoroi, Reviving the Ocean Economy. Ko te pūrongo te hua o tētahi tātari ōhanga pakeke i mahia e The Boston Consulting Group i hangaia i runga i te turanga o te pūtaiao moana hou i whakaratohia e te Global Change Institute o te Whare Wānanga o Kuinihana. He pono, ko te nui o te moana ka uaua te whakatau. Engari he mea nui tonu kia whakamātau ki te mārama ki tōna uara mēnā ka mau tonu te uara o ngā kaiārahi o te ao mō ngā whakatupuranga o muri mai. Ko te mea pono ko te moana e whangai ana i a tatou, e mahi ana i a tatou, e tuku ana i te tiaki, e whai wāhi tika ana ki te oranga me te oranga o te iwi puta noa i te ao. Ka whakarato hoki te moana i ngā ratonga tūturu engari he mea nui ki te tangata, pēnei i te whakahaere āhuarangi me te whakaputa hāora, e uaua ana ki te hoatu i roto i ngā kupu moni. Ahakoa he rerekē ngā tirohanga a tātou katoa ki te moana, kāore e taea e tētahi te mawhiti i te meka he rauemi tiritiri tēnei e whakarato ana i a tātou katoa. Ko tētahi tatauranga tērā pea ka ngaro i roto i ngā upoko kōrero i hangaia e tā mātou pūrongo, tērā pea ko te mea tino nui: E whitu tekau ōrau o te uara ōhanga whānui o te moana e whakawhirinaki ana ki tōna hauora tonu. Ko ngā rawa moana pēnei i ngā ika, ngā kōwhai, ngā mangrove me ngā tarutaru moana e hua ana i ngā taonga me ngā ratonga e whakataetae ana ki ngā ōhanga nui rawa atu o te ao ka ngaro te uara mēnā ka haere tonu tātou ki te whakapau kaha, ki te whakangaromanga. Tērā pea he mea tawhiti noa atu te tūponotanga ki ētahi, engari he wā kei te heke mai e whakaaturia ana e ngā taipitopito maha o tēnei pūrongo. Hei tauira, e 90 ōrau o ngā rawa ika o te ao kua tino whakamahia, kua tino whakamahia rānei. A koia tenei...
Ko te mana ōhanga o te moana e $ 24 trillion te uara: pūrongo WWF. Marco Lambertini: He tūranga tika tā te moana ki ngā oranga o te ao katoa.
