Previous | Home | Next"For more than 50 years, my team and I have spent thousands of hours under water. I have seen with my own eyes how our waters have sickened. Reefs that teemed with fish only ten years ago are now almost lifeless. The ocean bottoms have been raped by trawlers. Priceless wetlands have been destroyed by development. Everywhere, there are sticky globs of oil, plastic refuse and clouds of poisonous effluents."
"I passionately believe that those few of us who perceive the disaster ahead must band together now to warn the slumbering many. We must work for corrective measures that can be put into effect immediately for pioneering research and exploration to help us better understand the sea and its creatures. To this crusade, I have solemnly pledged what years remain to me. As I do, I hope you will stand beside me." Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau Scuba Diving Magazine 1995
