Granted, electrical storms create ozone, but the bulk of the ozone related to the "ozone layer" is produced by UV ray incidence upon oxygen in the air. UV strips O2 into 2O-, and each O- then finds another O2 to "get with," hence O3. This is a highly dynamic process, and certain gases, when in the same layer of air, can interfere with the process.
FTFA: For many years, it was assumed that the oceans were too vast for humanity to damage in any lasting way. "Man marks the Earth with ruin," wrote the 19th century poet Lord Byron. "His control stops with the shore."
The presumption, then, was that because our "control" stops at the shore, our "mark" stops at the shore? How silly. Far more likely: the old guy figured this out way back when, wrote EXACTLY what he meant, and this goof read the line poorly.
