Sylvia Earle
I love music of all kinds, but there's no greater music than the sound of my grandchildren laughing my kids, too.
Sylvia Earle
It has taken these many hundreds of millions of years to fine-tune the Earth to a point where it is suitable for the likes of us.
Sylvia Earle
Childcare is a huge issue for young women whose work may require them to leave their families for weeks at a time.
Sylvia Earle
Everyone has power. But it doesn't help if you don't use it.
Sylvia Earle
We've got to somehow stabilize our connection to nature so that in 50 years from now, 500 years, 5,000 years from now there will still be a wild system and respect for what it takes to sustain us.
Sylvia Earle
Fortunately, we know more about the problems that we have than in all preceding history. We know now the consequences of the things that we put into the air, into the water - of the way we treat life on Earth.
Sylvia Earle
Our job is to keep what is working intact and not destroy what we have got.
Sylvia Earle
We have found ways to capture, kill and market ocean wildlife on an unprecedented scale. It's an absolute catastrophe.
Sylvia Earle
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.
