The burning of fossil fuels has altered the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere so rapidly and so abundantly that now, we are driving not just the warming trend, not just the sea level rise that is a consequence of the warming trend that is melting polar ice and alpine ice, but also [ocean acidification].

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

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

What we once used as weapons of war, we now use as weapons against fish.

Every time I slip into the ocean, it's like going home.

With knowing comes caring.

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