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.
Sylvia EarleMy first breath was just...it just seemed impossible that you could actually breathe underwater. I knew in my mind it was possible, but actually experiencing it was such a gulp of joy and I feel it every time I go under the ocean. I love doing it, to be able to feel weightless, to spin on one finger, to do somersaults, to be like a graceful ballerina - even with a huge tank on your back you can do the most extraordinary things.
Sylvia EarleThe ocean is dying, and we have no place to escape to if this experiment doesn't go in our favor.
