Sylvia Earle Quotes

I love my Force Fins, which are the kind of fins Special Forces use and really are adapted from the fins of fish. They’re very efficient. They are so beautiful, a pair is in the Museum of Modern Art. The set I have are ruby red. I call them my ruby flippers Picture Quote #1
There is this sweet spot in time when we have an opportunity to stop killing sharks and tunas and swordfish and other wildlife in the sea before it’s too late Picture Quote #1
Humans have always wondered the big questions, Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? It’s part of human nature. It’s perhaps the underpinnings of religion Picture Quote #1
Look at the bark of a redwood, and you see moss. If you peer beneath the bits and pieces of the moss, you’ll see toads, small insects, a whole host of life that prospers in that miniature environment. A lumberman will look at a forest and see so many board feet of lumber. I see a living city Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
Why is it that scuba divers and surfers are some of the strongest advocates of ocean conservation? Because they’ve spent time in and around the ocean, and they’ve personally seen the beauty, the fragility, and even the degradation of our planet’s blue heart Picture Quote #1

Life in the ocean makes Earth hospitable. We are sailing along in the universe and we have a blue engine that is making everything alright Picture Quote #1
When I first ventured into the Gulf of Mexico in the 1950s, the sea appeared to be a blue infinity too large, too wild to be harmed by anything that people could do Picture Quote #1
Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life. It’s akin to using a bulldozer to catch a butterfly, destroying a whole ecosystem for the sake of a few pounds of protein. We wouldn’t do this on land, so why do it in the oceans? Picture Quote #1
Some experts look at global warming, increased world temperature, as the critical tipping point that is causing a crash in coral reef health around the world. And there’s no question that it is a factor, but it’s preceded by the loss of resilience and degradation Picture Quote #1
It’s taken us a short time to change the nature of nature. In my lifetime, more change than during all preceding human history put together Picture Quote #1
Places change over time with or without oil spills, but humans are responsible for the Deepwater Horizon gusher - and humans, as well as the corals, fish and other creatures, are suffering the consequences Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
We still have 10 percent of the sharks. We still have half of the coral reefs. However, if we wait another 50 years, opportunities might well be gone Picture Quote #1
The oxygen cycle, the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, the water cycle - all of these are linked to the existence of life in the sea Picture Quote #1
Fish from all over the world, from deep in the sea, wind up in countries from Germany to Japan. That is just crazy Picture Quote #1
Protecting vital sources of renewal - unscathed marshes, healthy reefs, and deep-sea gardens - will provide hope for the future of the Gulf, and for all of us Picture Quote #1
With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live Picture Quote #1
No creature on Earth ever has organized themselves in ways that we have, with the capacity to alter the nature of nature the way we have Picture Quote #1

With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea Picture Quote #1
We’ve got to alter our fossil fuel dependence and go to other energy sources Picture Quote #1
The very energy sources that have gotten us to where we are now are also, if we continue doing what we’re doing, a shortcut to the end of all that we hold near and dear Picture Quote #1
It’s a fact of life that there will be oil spills, as long as oil is moved from place to place, but we must have provisions to deal with them, and a capability that is commensurate with the size of the oil shipments Picture Quote #1
My first encounter with the ocean was on the Jersey Shore when I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave. The ocean certainly got my attention! It wasn’t frightening, it was more exhilarating Picture Quote #1
Burning fossil fuels has given us the gift of seeing ourselves in new ways. But that very gift now enables us to see we’ve got to change our ways Picture Quote #1

For heaven’s sake, when you see the enemy attacking, you pick up the pitchfork, and you enlist everybody you see. You don’t stand around arguing about who’s responsible, or who’s going to pay Picture Quote #1
With care and protection, with safe havens in the ocean, there is still a good chance that we can turn things around Picture Quote #1
I have come up at the end of a dive, and the boat was not where I left it. I had to take care of a buddy who did panic. But I was confident the boat would come back Picture Quote #1
No water, no life. No blue, no green Picture Quote #1
Every time I slip into the ocean, it’s like going home Picture Quote #1
Health to the ocean means health for us Picture Quote #1
