We must protect our ocean as if our lives depend upon it, because they do.

We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.

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

We want to think of ourselves as truly special creatures that are unique in the universe and, well, we are. And we have that capacity to wonder, to question, and to see ourselves in the context of all of life that has preceded the present time, and all that will go off far into the future, one way or another.

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

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.

Give the ocean a break. Give yourself a break.
