The end of commercial fishing is predicted long before the middle of the 21st century.

There is a terribly terrestrial mindset about what we need to do to take care of the planet-as if the ocean somehow doesn't matter or is so big, so vast that it can take care of itself, or that there is nothing that we could possibly do that we could harm the ocean...We are learning otherwise.

We've got to alter our fossil fuel dependence and go to other energy sources.

We couldn't go to the moon on whale oil. We don't have the capacity yet to consider doing such things as harnessing current sunlight. We're burning ancient sunlight in order to get us to where we now are. But it's costly.

If the sea is sick, we'll feel it. If it dies, we die. Our future and the state of the oceans are one.

Even our rules and regulations, our laws, our policies, favor the destructive nature of taking too much from the ocean and using techniques that are horribly destructive. We know they don't work. We know it's not sustainable.

I want to get out in the water. I want to see fish, real fish, not fish in a laboratory.
