There's this fabulous innovation ship called Unreasonable at Sea, where I'm a mentor. One of the companies there was called Protei, and they're an open hardware ocean exploration and monitoring idea.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a long list of technologies that have now made it possible to carry out very precise search efforts in the deep sea.
My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.
The sea is my business.
As our technology evolves, we will have the capacity to reach new, ever-increasing depths. The question is what kind of technology, in the end, do we want to deploy in the far reaches of the ocean? Tools of science, ecology and documentation, or the destructive tools of heavy industry?
I became interested in ocean issues in the 1980s when I couldn't take my daughters swimming because of pollution at our local beach. Twenty-five years later, I'm a board member of Oceana, the world's largest international organization dedicated to ocean conservation.
I think management and technology all come into play in building a super-yacht. It is a challenge - a serious challenge.
We need a NASA-like organization for ocean exploration, because we need to be exploring and protecting our life support systems here on Earth.
I'm thrilled to be partnered up with SeaWorld.
Ships are like children: they need individual attention.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
