The Maritime Heritage Press website is dedicated to celebrating our maritime heritage as well as building awareness of the need to address the impacts of climate change on the marine environment. If you are not yet convinced that climate change is real, please read some of my articles and inform yourself. If you already understand the significant implications of climate change please help me spread the message. Whenever, and wherever I can, I hope to continue to try and communicate the very direct and simple concept that "We are all in the same boat". The Earth is our one and only lifeboat. You may depend upon it. There is no alternative. I hope people take that message onboard, think about the implications, and act accordingly. Yours aye, Bruce Stannard AM
