Scientists don't know why gray whales breach,

though speculations range from removing parasites from their skin, alerting other whales in the area, or simply for play.

to the ocean as our “life support system?”
Do you agree

or disagree that “health to the ocean means health to us?” Explain.
Which image or graphic shown by Sylvia Earle impressed you the most? Why?
What new information did you learn from Sylvia Earle’s speech?
Sylvia Earle’s goal is “to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas.” What do you think Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are?
Sylvia Earle’s wish is for humans to do everything we can to reach that goal. What can you do to help?
