We are thrilled to learn that Al Gore just won the Nobel Prize. As David Roberts points out, he certainly deserved it and this is good news for all of us in the environmental community and in the world.
Gore was also presented with Oceana’s 2007 Partners Award this past Friday. The former vice president’s work on highlighting the challenges climate change presents to our oceans is incredibly important.
Gore was joined by Dr. Daniel Pauly, winner of the 2007 Ted Danson Ocean Hero award. Pauly is one of the world’s preeminent fisheries scientists.
