To be with another scientist and make a discovery and share that with a global audience, or working with bear biologists in Alaska, by helicopter - [it's] really what I've given my whole life to. And I get to do that just about every week.

I think the hardest part about my job is the best part of my job - the travel.

We are not far away from the point of no return when it comes to life on earth, and we have some radical choices to make.

I love people who have died trying to save wildlife. When I see that passion, that gives me hope.

The number one issue that Ocean Mysteries has opened my eyes to is, no matter where you are, whether you're on a beach in Hawaii, you're diving in the Pacific, you're in a remote archipelago, or you're in the middle of nowhere - I am blown away and sobered and crushed, emotionally crushed, by the amount of marine debris, of garbage, that is now in our ocean.

We live in a time where we have more extinction happening on our planet than since the dinosaurs were wiped out 50 million years ago.

I'm glad I'm inspiring somebody.
