John Hocevar has worked in many different places all over the globe. He ha
worked in the Bering Sea, the Chukchi Sea, Alaska, and many other diverse
locations (The Environmentalist”). One of his most successful operations
was his campaign in Menhaden, Chesapeake Bay. It involved challenging
the second biggest fishery in the United States in court to fight them to
reduce the rates of overfishing ("John Hocevar"). Another project that
Hocevar successfully completed was leading Greenpeace's response to the
BP oil spill on the Macondo Prospect in 2010. Hocevar led a group of
activists on a trip to the Gulf of Mexico, where he assessed the damage and
directed them to help clean up oil-soaked birds and saving as many fish,
birds, and sea mammals as they could from their certain death ("John
Hocevar"). Hocevar is a passionate, strong hearted man who deserves much
more credit than he gets.
The human population needs to work together to protect all life in the
ocean. If we can achieve this, we can save countless species that we put in
danger in the first place. A single rock tumbling is not enough to cause an
entire avalanche, but it can start it. This analogy applies to the concept of
fixing the environment as well because the complex issue of environment
destruction and protection cannot be fixed by any one person, but John
Hocevar is the best man to set the example and encourage others to follow
him in his footsteps. He has been fighting for our planet for over ten years,
and he remains committed more than ever to the dream of an avalanche of
change that could save our oceans.
