I think the best thing I can hope to achieve is to educate, or make aware, as many people as possible on how the little things they do every day really do affect our environment.

I think people will be surprised at how fast they go next year. I do think world records will get broken next year.

I grew up in an area of a lot of growth, in Orange County, California, and spent most of my youth on the beach. I had witnessed the degradation of our Back Bay and the increased number of closed beach days over the years.

We can still maintain our coasts and oceans for the generations to come, who deserve what we have.

Retiring is a strange word. I'm 27 years old. I've still got stuff to do.

I have always had a very natural connection to the water, and that connection stems from the ocean itself.

The ocean is the lifeblood of our world.
