○ "No water, no life. No blue, no green!" -- Sylvia Earle

○ “The ecosystems of the ocean are the engine that make Earth livable,” says Sylvia Earle, the pioneering oceanographer and explorer. “But, even now, most people don’t think of the ocean as the headline when they’re talking about climate and environment.” -- Sylvia Earle, 2023

○ "You and I and everybody else alive on the planet today have come along at probably the most important time in human history because we still have options open, right? We still have choices that can take us in a direction that will give us the best chance we'll ever have of a long and enduring future on this little blue miracle that we call Earth. Fifty years ago, and all preceding time before, we did not know, we could not know what we now know, what kids are growing up with, a view of Earth from space, knowing what it's like in the deepest part of the ocean, because we have evidence. People have been there. They've they come back as witnesses." -- Sylvia Earle, 1972 (Interview with Andrew Revkin)
