“The sea, the great unifier, is man’s only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: We are all in the same boat.” — Jacques Cousteau
The ocean is the greatest natural resource on our planet, providing food, shaping our climate, and absorbing carbon dioxide. In the past, mankind has thought of the ocean as so vast that human actions couldn’t really hurt it. Today, this paradigm has changed. We know that the ocean is not invincible, and that our actions around the world have a collective impact. It’s up to us and future generations to learn more, and restore the ocean’s integrity in any way we can.
