WORDS OF WISDOM

Without a knowledge of what lives on our seabed, we are at risk of never fully understanding and appreciating Ireland’s invaluable

marine environment

DAVID O’SULLIVAN

(Chief Scientist Infomar – Marine Institute)

Just knowing wilderness exists provides a sense of existential value to many people, that Nature still exists somewhere in a relatively

untouched form, even if they never actually visit the wilderness

BEN HALPERN

(Director of the UCSB National Center for

Ecological Analysis and Synthesis)

Take up these courageous brushes, and begin painting a better picture with broader strokes, if not for us immediately, then for our children and future generations who await their rightful turn

on this planet

ALFREDO QUARTO

(Co-founder and executive director, Mangrove Action

Project, Port Angeles, Washington)
