"We are protecting less than one percent of our oceans. If we are to protect this priceless natural heritage for future generations, we must learn to value marine life less as commodities and more as part of the natural world on which we too depend. Conservation of our marine ecosystems is a daunting, complex task which requires assistance from everyone around the world. In many ways, from large, international efforts to everyday, individual practices, we can make a difference." Dr Sylvia Earle, Executive Director of Conservation Internationals Global Marine Division and Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society,
