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

There is so much life underneath the water that we don't know about.

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.

I'm concerned about the ocean and the environment. And I love whales.

There is hardly a place on Earth where people do not log, pave, spray, drain, flood, graze, fish, plow, burn, drill, spill or dump. There is no life zone, with the possible exception of the deep ocean, that we are not degrading.

I really feel that there are things in the ocean that we have no idea about.

Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream.

As an explorer, I know firsthand there are many places in the ocean so full of life that they should be protected. Coral reefs and mangrove coastlines are stressed already by climate change and ocean acidification, and poor planning will just make their plight worse.

Instead of passing on choppy waters to the next generation, we should endeavor to leave them a calmer sea.
