Carl Safina Quotes

When I was a kid, Jacques Cousteau was my hero and the person who inspired me to become an underwater explorer. I have many other people who inspired me after him, but he is still my all-time hero Picture Quote #1

Saving the world requires saving democracy. That requires well-informed citizens. Conservation, environment, poverty, community, education, family, health, economy- these combine to make one quest: liberty and justice for all. Whether one’s special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion Picture Quote #1

But one doesn’t wait for a revolution. One becomes it Picture Quote #1

If you ask the fish whether they’d rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d vote for another blowout Picture Quote #1

Try to cut down drastically on plastic. Recycle. Use less energy and more renewable energy. We can all live better by doing better for ourselves and the sea! Picture Quote #1

BP had a lease to drill. They did not have a lease to pollute the Gulf of Mexico. They did not have a lease to blow oil into the environment. They did not have a lease to disperse the oil and try to hide the body. They don’t have a lease to clean up Picture Quote #1

If you’re overfishing at the top of the food chain, and acidifying the ocean at the bottom, you’re creating a squeeze that could conceivably collapse the whole system Picture Quote #1

Whether on’e special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion Picture Quote #1

Several groups have information evaluating seafood sustainability. I wrote the first such guide, and seafood pocket-guides and detailed evaluations of different seafoods are available for download from the group I founded, Blue Ocean Institute Picture Quote #1

From the happy-go-lucky days of oil exploration and drilling, when a lot of easy sources were being found and easily managed, we’re gotten ourselves into this sort of apocalyptic time. We’re willing to destroy almost everything, risk almost anything, and go ahead with techniques for which we have no way of responding to the known problems Picture Quote #1

Many people believe the whole catastrophe is the oil we spill, but that gets diluted and eventually disarmed over time. In fact, the oil we don’t spill, the oil we collect, refine and use, produces CO2 and other gases that don’t get diluted Picture Quote #1

For each of us, then, the challenge and opportunity is to cherish all life as the gift it is, envision it whole, seek to know it truly, and undertake-with our minds, hearts and hands-to restore its abundance. It is said that where there’s life there’s hope, and so no place can inspire us with more hopefulness than that great, life-making sea-that singular, wondrous ocean covering the blue planet Picture Quote #1

If you look right, you can see the whole world from wherever you happen to be Picture Quote #1

We put the murderer in charge of the crime scene Picture Quote #1

We are blessed with a magnificent and miraculous world ocean on this planet. But we are also stressing it in ways that we are not even close to bringing under control Picture Quote #1

Fishing provides time to think, and reason not to. If you have the virtue of patience, an hour or two of casting alone is plenty of time to review all you’ve learned about the grand themes of life Picture Quote #1

I am drawn to the wild not because it is wild but because it is sensible, logical, ordered, stable, resilient. Wild nature is everything we’re struggling to regain Picture Quote #1

Maybe we’ll live to see sharks recover. Right now, that seems as improbable as seeing all these falcons. Hope is the ability to see how things could be better. The world of human affairs has long been a shadowy place, but always backlit by the light of hope. Each person can add hope to the world. A resigned person subtracts hope. The more people strive, the more change becomes likely Picture Quote #1

Economists don’t seem to have noticed that the economy sits entirely within the ecology Picture Quote #1

Whether on’e special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion Picture Quote #1

The ocean is not just blank blue space but rather the habitat for amazing wildlife, and we have to take care how we use it. If we want to keep having the goods and services it provides, we have to treat it more carefully in terms of fishing and dumping Picture Quote #1

If you’re overfishing at the top of the food chain, and acidifying the ocean at the bottom, you’re creating a squeeze that could conceivably collapse the whole system Picture Quote #1
