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

We want to believe that we can continue doing what we've done for the past thousand years and not worry about the consequences coming back to us.

Success underwater depends mostly on how you conduct yourself. Diving can be the most relaxing experience in the world. Your weight seems to disappear. Space travel will be available only to a few individuals for some time, but the oceans are available to almost everyone - now.

Ignorance is the biggest problem of all for the ocean - and for many other things as well.

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

Our job is to keep what is working intact and not destroy what we have got.
