We're still under the weight of this impression that the ocean is too big to fail, that the planet is too big to fail.

I find the lure of the unknown irresistible.

Nothing has prepared sharks, squid, krill and other sea creatures for industrial-scale extraction that destroys entire ecosystems while targeting a few species.

All through college, I had frequently been the only girl in a science class - which wasn't such a bad deal.

We have found ways to capture, kill and market ocean wildlife on an unprecedented scale. It's an absolute catastrophe.

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

I hope for your help to explore and protect the wild ocean in ways that will restore the health and, in so doing, secure hope for humankind. Health to the ocean means health for us.
