We have found ways to capture, kill and market ocean wildlife on an unprecedented scale. It's an absolute catastrophe.

Everyone has power. But it doesn't help if you don't use it.

It is not too late to turn things around.

We are all together in this, we are all together in this single living ecosystem called planet earth.

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.

I find the lure of the unknown irresistible.

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.
