When she was three years old, Sylvia Earle was knocked over by a wave while on a family trip to the Jersey Shore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t frightening; it was more exhilarating than anything else,\u201d she tells me. \u201cAnd since then, life in the ocean has captured my imagination and held it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 7,000 underwater hours under her belt and setting the record for solo diving, descending over 1,000 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean, Sylvia Earle is one of the world\u2019s leading scientists and explorers. She has received over one hundred national and international honors, including the 2009 TED Prize, the National Women\u2019s Hall of Fame, the National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, 2011 Royal Geographical Society Gold Medal, and most recently, a Glamour Women of the Year in 2014. Her accomplishments and deep love of the natural world have inspired a whole new generation of environmentalists<\/a> and activists.<\/p>\n

Her research began in her postgraduate years, after receiving her bachelor\u2019s degree from Florida State University and her master\u2019s degree in botany from Duke University, when she started her thesis work on algae in the Gulf of Mexico. Nearly a decade later, in 1966, she received her PhD from Duke University and instantly accepted a position as the resident director of Cape Haze Marine Laboratories. She followed on to become a research fellow at the Farlow Herbarium of Harvard University and later served as a research scholar at the Radcliffe Institute.<\/p>\n

Then, in 1970, a time when American women were only just entering fields traditionally run by men, Earle led the first team of female aquanauts during the Tektite ll Experiment, designed to study underwater habitats. During this two-week project, where she lived in an underwater laboratory 50 feet below the surface, Earle observed the effects of pollution<\/a> on coral reefs directly. She also had the rare chance to get to know the fish swimming around the capsule.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got to know the fish\u2019s faces,\u201d Earle says. \u201cNo two are alike; they have individual looks and behaviors. They are important creatures in their own right.\u201d It was a profound experience that would influence her thinking on marine life for decades to come.<\/p>\n

Disappearing Act<\/h3>\n

Now, at 80 years old, she\u2019s committed to advocacy and outreach to keep our oceans healthy and sustainable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobally, about half of the coral reefs that existed when I was a child are gone or are in a state of serious decay,\u201d says Earle. \u201cThe waters of the reefs where I made some of my earliest dives are not nearly so clear as they are in my recollections. The great forests of branching corals are largely gone. The pink conchs and Nassau grouper are mostly memories\u2014the remaining few are protected in U.S. waters because of their rarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to love something before you are moved to save it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overfishing, climate change and destructive fishing methods are the main culprits<\/a>.\u00a0Fortunately, we can all help the oceans just by adjusting what\u2019s on our dinner plates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ocean is not an inexhaustible resource,\u201d says Earle. \u201cWe need to make it uncool to eat tuna, or swordfish, or grouper, or other ocean wildlife. We need to protect every fish alive because they are much more valuable as part of the natural world that keeps us alive than they are cooked on a plate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every animal in the sea plays a role in the ecosystem. Yet, they\u2019re extracted out of the oceans and treated like commodities in spite of the fact that they keep our oceans\u2014and us\u2014healthy. According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund<\/a>\u00a0in July 2015, nearly half the world\u2019s marine life has been wiped out in the last fifty years. Ninety percent of many of the big fish are gone, and even many of the small fish are at low numbers, owing to our demand for fish.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifty years ago, we could not see limits to what we could put into the ocean, or what we could take out,\u201d says Earle. \u201cIt\u2019s all about knowing. I used to consume fish, but now that I know, I can\u2019t do what I used to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

In part to further this advocacy, Earle founded Mission Blue<\/a>, an organization dedicated to caring for the ocean and enhancing public awareness of Marine Protected Areas, in 2009. Mission Blue continues to educate the greater public about the issues of overfishing and<\/p>\n

More to Explore<\/h3>\n

Aside from choosing a sustainable diet, another way we can protect the ocean and its inhabitants is by fostering new technologies. As crazy as it may sound, 95 percent of the ocean has still been unexplored, according to Earle, but submarines can help change that. \u201cPiloted subs, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and underwater robots can enhance our understanding of deep-sea organisms in countless ways,\u201d she says. This technology exists, but we just need plenty of funding to build them.<\/p>\n

\"Sylvia<\/a><\/p>\n

Earle would know. She started a marine technology company called Deep Ocean Exploration and Research (DOER Marine)<\/a> in 1992. DOER Marine is dedicated to implementing solutions for challenging underwater tasks, and one of its projects has been designing the kinds of submarines that could help further research.<\/p>\n

\u201cDOER\u2019s three-person Explorer sub will provide access in depths to 1,000 meters,\u201d she says. \u201cThe 11,000-meter Deep Search vehicle, with a glass personnel sphere, will be able to explore the full range of depth with unprecedented visibility and capability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another technology that can help save our oceans and the life within it is social media. Earle sees platforms like Facebook and Twitter as a new method of spreading awareness about the issues. \u201cResearchers can use the internet to communicate their findings; activists can use it to spread the word about them; policy makers need to hear from voters<\/a> and corporations that saving the ocean is a priority, and they need to work with scientists to act on those demands in effective ways. Social media can help with that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only difference that has been made ever in the world, for good or for not so good, always starts with just one person,\u201d says Earle. \u201cBut it will take a coalition of researchers, indigenous communities, students, engineers, explorers, artists, teachers, and advocates to unite with their unique skills and new technologies to appeal to our global society and change our relationship to the ocean for good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Time Is Now<\/h3>\n

\u201cFifty years into the future\u2014even five years into the future\u2014it will be too late to do what is possible right now,\u201d says Earle. If we want to save our oceans, we need to coalesce.<\/p>\n

Now is the time to make a change, to stop choking our oceans with plastic, to stop starving our seas of fish, and start treating our oceans\u2014one of the earth\u2019s most precious resources\u2014with respect. \u00a0We can\u2019t wait.\u00a0By cutting out fish from your diet, recycling, reducing your plastic consumption, and generally becoming more eco-friendly, you can make a huge difference in the world, for the sake of our oceans and us.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to love something before you are moved to save it,\u201d says Earle. \u201cWe need people from all backgrounds and professions to raise awareness and inspire empathy about threats like climate change, ocean acidification, overfishing, and pollution among their communities, and we need to use every tool at our disposal to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n
