It Is Not Too Late To Turn

We Humans Have This Idea That The Ocean Is So Big, So Vast, So Resilient That It Doesn't Matter What We Do To It. That May Have Been True 1,000 Years Ago. But In The Last 100, Especially The Last 50 Years, We Have Destroyed The Assets That Make Our Lives Possible.

Just As We Have The Power To Harm The Ocean, We Have The Power To Put In Place Policies And Modify Our Own Behavior In Ways That Would Be An Insurance Policy For The Future Of The Sea, For The Creatures There, And For Us, Protecting Special Critical Areas In The Ocean.

The Oxygen Cycle, The Nitrogen Cycle, The Carbon Cycle, The Water Cycle - All Of These Are Linked To The Existence Of Life In The Sea.

I've Spent Thousands Of Hours Under Water. And Even In The Deepest Dive I Have Ever Made, 2.5 Miles (about 4 Kilometers) Down, I Saw Trash And Other Tangible Evidence Of Our Presence.

I Suggest To Everyone: Look In The Mirror. Ask Yourself: Who Are You? What Are Your Talents? Use Them, And Do What You Love.
