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 someone who has spent a lifetime exploring and understanding the ocean's ecosystems, I firmly believe in the interconnectedness of our planet's life systems. Planting more trees is essential not only for sequestering carbon but also for supporting biodiversity and maintaining healthy water cycles. Trees are vital to sustaining both terrestrial and marine environments, and their preservation and replenishment should be a global priority.
