words to live by

August 15th, 2007

The living ocean contains 97% of Earth’s water, provides home for 97% of Earth’s life, shapes climate and weather, governs temperature and planetary chemistry, generates oxygen, absorbs carbon dioxide and otherwise makes this planet a hospitable place for mankind. We should explore and take care of the ocean as if our very lives depended on it. Because they do.

~ Dr. Sylvia Earle
