I actually love diving at night; you see a lot of fish then that you don't see in the daytime.

Use your power to do whatever it takes to secure for humankind an enduring place on this little blue speck in the universe - our only hope.

We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.

If you think the ocean isn't important, imagine Earth without it. Mars comes to mind. No ocean, no life support system.

This much is certain: We have the power to damage the sea, but no sure way to heal the harm.

I'm not against extracting a modest amount of wildlife out of the ocean for human consumption, but I am really concerned about the large-scale industrial fishing that engages in destructive practices like trawling and longlining.

It doesn't matter where on Earth you live, everyone is utterly dependent on the existence of that lovely, living saltwater soup. There's plenty of water in the universe without life, but nowhere is there life without water.
