Is there any data on the long-term impact this may have on the ocean/sea? It sounds like a fantastic idea, but will we end up killing more than we save?

CEO section lacks relevance[edit]

The CEO section of this page seems to out-weigh the value that a reader might get from it. I'm proposing to have that section removed, and have a reference to the CEO instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrVentureWasRight (talk • contribs) 02:20, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and just trimmed it down a good bit. The article overall needs more quality references.MartinezMD (talk) 17:27, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree although I am more of the opinion that the section on the CEO should be removed entirely. I dont really see either the CEO's notability or their relevence to the article generally.--Discott (talk) 10:43, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
