If the sea is sick, we'll feel it. If it dies, we die. Our future and the state of the oceans are one.
Sylvia Earle
Image
The ocean is our life support system. No blue, no green. It's really a miracle that we have got a place that works in our favor.

Sylvia Earle
Image
Our job is to keep what is working intact and not destroy what we have got.
Sylvia Earle
Image
We have become frighteningly effective at altering nature.
Sylvia Earle
Image
Not only who am I, but who are we? And where are we going? It's the we. It's the social connections that are special to human beings.
Sylvia Earle
Image
All through college, I had frequently been the only girl in a science class - which wasn't such a bad deal.
Sylvia Earle
Image
When I first ventured into the Gulf of Mexico in the 1950s, the sea appeared to be a blue infinity too large, too wild to be harmed by anything that people could do.
Sylvia Earle
Image
Humans have always wondered the big questions, Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? It's part of human nature. It's perhaps the underpinnings of religion.
Sylvia Earle
Image
Even our rules and regulations, our laws, our policies, favor the destructive nature of taking too much from the ocean and using techniques that are horribly destructive. We know they don't work. We know it's not sustainable.
Sylvia Earle
Image
When you are a child you learn your alphabet, your numbers, but increasingly, we must learn from the earliest stages that the highest priority has to be to maintain the world as a safe place for humankind.
Sylvia Earle
