“Sea Blindness” ... blocking visibility of the horizon, this phenomenon can be dangerous for sailors as it can mask the approach to land or other obstacles. “Sea blindness” refers to the inability to see or understand certain issues or situations, such as those related to oceans, climates change, energy, economics, but also extreme vulnerability and fragility of humankind.
