My love for the water would always be tempered by respect for dangers that must never be underestimated. - Lewis Pugh

To do anything worthwhile, you will face periods of grinding doubt and fear.

When we set aside MPAs we protect the marine habitat. When we do that, fish stocks recover. Which supports food security. When we create MPAs, we protect the coral, which protects the shoreline and provides shelter for fish. Marine Protected Areas are places people want to visit for ecotourism, so it's good for the economy. It has, if you'll pardon the pun, a ripple effect. Marine Protected Areas are good for the world economy, for the health of the oceans, for every person living on this planet.

Don’t look for other people to validate your dreams. If it feels right, just go for it.
