  Ert is soietimes
called the Blue Planet,
calling to mind the oceans
that cover most of its surface.
But it is becoming increas-
ingly clear that these oceans,
though  vast, are not an inex-
ha ustible resource. Overfish-
ing, pollution, and other
changes  in the environment
pose growing  threats to the
health of marine ecosystems
and the life they support.
Reports of depleted fisheries,
disease outbreaks, and public
health warnings are on the
rise. In recognition of the
roles that oceans play in
shaping life on our planet,
the United Nations has desig-
nated 1998  as the Interna-
tional Year of the Ocean.
This edition of the Endan-
gered Species Bulletin takes a
look at U.S. efforts to conserve
the endangered  and threat-
ened  life of marine and
related coastal ecosystems.
