Far and away, the greatest threat to the ocean, and thus to ourselves, is ignorance. But we can do something about that.

The ocean is dying, and we have no place to escape to if this experiment doesn't go in our favor.

We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.

'Green' issues at last are attracting serious attention, owing to critically important links between the environment and the economy, health, and our security.

We have been far too aggressive about extracting ocean wildlife, not appreciating that there are limits and even points of no return.

No creature on Earth ever has organized themselves in ways that we have, with the capacity to alter the nature of nature the way we have.

I am driven by what I know; that the world I love is in trouble.
