This is a link to
our 14 year old daughter's TEDxTalk. Ella had the opportunity to speak here in Victoria BC in November. I think it speaks volumes of what the next generation can do:

the ocean inspiring conservation, education, research, and a sea ethic. ~~~
Extending a sea ethic would mean recognizing the ocean’s importance to the continued existence of life on our planet and to human futures. From this recognition would flow an appropriate sense of moral imperative, commitment, and urgency—urgency toward ending overfishing and wasteful bycatch and aggressively rebuilding depleted ocean wildlife populations, stabilizing human effects on world climate, slowing habitat destruction, stemming global transport and accidental introduction of "alien" species, curbing the flow of contaminants and trash, developing sustainable seafood farming, cultivating an informed approach to the seafood marketplace, and implementing networks of protected areas in the sea. - Dr. Carl Safina

That is fantastic. And congratulations to your daughter for being such a well-spoken wonderful person at such a young age. She is great! Also "I'm a bit of an ocean fanatic and I always have been" - just like me.

A whale killed a dolphin but he was acquitted because he didn't do it on porpoise.
