People should treat the oceans like we do anything else that we care about - with consideration, with care, and affection. That's it. For that we must educate.

We still have hope; it is what keeps us going.

Fresh water is like a fossil fuel; we should not waste it.

People have to realize that the air we breathe and the water we drink come from the ocean and will go back to the ocean one way or another, no matter how far away we may be from it. It's a perpetual cycle.

We must have the hope to be able to succeed.

The amount of water on the planet does not change, only its quality.

What do we expect the climate to do? How will it affect people? And how can we protect people from hardship? We should be willing to face the facts that things may not go very well.
