VISIONARY APPROACH REQUIRED, U.S. needs an 'oceans president', National leadership can help protect our seas from pollution, habitat loss and other hazards
Second, just as [Theodore Roosevelt] expanded the area protected in national parks, an oceans president should expand the marine protected areas critical for recovery. These include nurseries and spawning grounds - the ocean's cradles of life. Today only 1 percent of our ocean waters are protected. But there is hope. For example, [George W. Bush] has supported the process to establish the 1,200-mile ecosystem reserve started by President Bill Clinton in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, comprising up to 70 percent of America's coral reefs. The oceans face some challenges that had no parallel in Roosevelt's day, and these must be met with equal vigor and intensity. Science magazine reported last month that the oceans have been doing the world a favor by absorbing nearly half the global warming gases emitted by human activities. But this capacity is limited, and the researchers found that marine life will suffer as the absorbed gases change the oceans' chemistry.

BOUNDERS ON THE MAIN
GERHARD MUELLER is a retired chief of the crime prevention and criminal justice branch of the United Nations. His wife, [Freda Adler], is a professor of criminology. Together they have written a book subtitled ''The Complete Book of Contemporary Crime on the High Seas.'' But while the authors' credentials as criminologists are exemplary, their skills as journalists are unimpressive. The book has not been written so much as assembled. It attempts to cover a great deal of ground in too little space, with the result that very little is covered very well.
