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

With care and protection, with safe havens in the ocean, there is still a good chance that we can turn things around.

I suggest to everyone: Look in the mirror. Ask yourself: Who are you? What are your talents? Use them, and do what you love.

I'm not against extracting a modest amount of wildlife out of the ocean for human consumption, but I am really concerned about the large-scale industrial fishing that engages in destructive practices like trawling and longlining.

The oceans deserve our respect and care, but you have to know something before you can care about it.

We've got to somehow stabilize our connection to nature so that in 50 years from now, 500 years, 5,000 years from now there will still be a wild system and respect for what it takes to sustain us.

You don't have to touch the ocean for the ocean to touch you
