Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

Oceans are one of the most important things in the world now and that is a national security threat of the United States of America, to be honest with you. That is why seeing the habitat destroyed is so short-sighted by us.

Seventy percent of the planet is covered with water, and there's so much we can be doing with oceans, and it was one of the frontiers that people have more or less abandoned.

The crazy thing is we live on an ocean planet - nobody gets that yet.

We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.

The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know.

If you think the ocean isn't important, imagine Earth without it. Mars comes to mind. No ocean, no life support system.

The ocean is our planet's life support system, yet in my travels and at home, I've seen its degradation firsthand.

Most people can't see the connection between their own lives and the oceans.

The oceans are more or less in disrepair. Long Beach really is making an effort to acknowledge this, and that's a great place to start. I'm trying to spread at least the knowledge that it's never too early to take care of our oceans and our environment.
