Life in the ocean makes Earth hospitable. We are sailing along in the universe and we have a blue engine that is making everything alright.

I've always said, 'Underwater or on top, men and women are compatible.'

You should know what is taken out of the ecosystem in order to give you a moment's sustenance.

The ocean seemed like a sea of Eden. But now we are facing paradise lost.

Throughout all of human history we have consumed the natural world. All creatures do. Birds do. Fish do. Earthworms do. We consume the natural world as a source of our survival. But no creature has ever consumed at the scale that humans have, and now there are seven billion of us. I think the good news is that a large percentage of those seven billion minds can work to make better decisions.

The Earth is a tiny blue speck in a universe of unfriendly options.

Forty percent of the United States drains into the Mississippi. It's agriculture. It's golf courses. It's domestic runoff from our lawns and roads. Ultimately, where does it go? Downstream into the gulf.
