If you make the choice to just go with the flow, that is a choice to make a difference in a negative way.

Not only who am I, but who are we? And where are we going? It's the "we." It's the social connections that are special to human beings.

The ocean seemed like a sea of Eden. But now we are facing paradise lost.

Even our rules and regulations, our laws, our policies, favor the destructive nature of taking too much from the ocean and using techniques that are horribly destructive. We know they don't work. We know it's not sustainable.

People still do not understand that a live fish is more valuable than a dead one, and that destructive fishing techniques are taking a wrecking ball to biodiversity.

The end of commercial fishing is predicted long before the middle of the 21st century.

We have to look in the mirror first. What are we doing? How can we make a change? It always starts with looking in the mirror. Every individual can. Every individual can make a difference either by proactively doing something positive or by doing nothing. That's a decision, too.
