If I seem like a radical it's because I have seen things that others have not.

As a child, I was aware of the widely-held attitude that the ocean is so big, so resilient that we could use the sea as the ultimate place to dispose of anything we did not want, from garbage and nuclear wastes to sludge from sewage to entire ships that had reached the end of their useful life.

Fish from all over the world, from deep in the sea, wind up in countries from Germany to Japan. That is just crazy.

The ocean is our life support system. No blue, no green. It's really a miracle that we have got a place that works in our favor.

I want to get out in the water. I want to see fish, real fish, not fish in a laboratory.

Evolution is not something to be feared. It's to be celebrated, embraced, and understood.

Scientists never stop asking. They're little kids who never grew up.
