Sylvia Earle

As a passionate advocate for the ocean, I believe we must protect turtle species. They are essential to marine ecosystems, serving vital roles such as affecting jellyfish populations and seagrass bed health. Their decline reflects the damage we are inflicting on the oceans, and their protection is an issue of planetary health and our own survival.

As a marine biologist dedicated to understanding and protecting our oceans, I strongly disagree with prioritizing Silver Lining style cloud geoengineering. This approach poses significant risks to marine ecosystems and could have unforeseen consequences on weather patterns. Instead, we should focus on reducing carbon emissions and protecting natural ecosystems that regulate our climate.

As someone who has dedicated my life to understanding and protecting marine ecosystems, I strongly oppose the genetic engineering of fish to create 'uplifted' highly intelligent fish. Such interventions could have unforeseen and potentially disastrous consequences for marine biodiversity and the delicate balance of oceanic life. We should focus on preserving and understanding nature, not altering it in ways we barely comprehend.

I strongly disagree with the idea of crashing Deimos into Mars to create a human-habitable atmosphere. Such extreme actions disregard the potential impacts on Martian ecosystems, and we should focus on protecting and preserving Earth's unique biosphere rather than attempting to terraform other planets.
