1.
I never stop asking questions and have a sense of wonder just like a five year-old kid.
 
2. 
Going under water... Saving the ocean... Being a fish…
 
3. 
There are many of them. I love to go back to the places I have known over the years. I do whatever I can to make the world understand how much and how fast it’s changing.

 

4. 
My camera. Taking photographs helps me to remember and to document. Oh, and a bathing suit.

 

5. 
First of all, there are much more of us but the planet has not become any larger. The pressure on the land, the air, the water, and the wildlife that keeps us alive is growing.

 

6. 
It’s because I spend more time than others in the ocean and see things that others don’t. You can’t care if you don’t know and most people simply don’t know.

 

7. 
It is alive. Oxygen is generated by living creatures. Every fish fertilizes the water; that generates the plankton, which belongs to the food chain and also produces oxygen and uses carbon.

 

8.
What we do or don’t do will make a difference. As individuals, everybody can make a difference. Every change in the world always starts with somebody, an individual.

 

9. 
If you are good with words, then use words. If you play a musical instrument, write a song and play an instrument. If you draw, use that talent, show people the future through your eyes.
 
10.
We are not just losing the wildlife in the sea, we are losing our life support system — their future and ours. Take away life in the ocean and we don’t have a planet that works.
