“Recognizing the ocean's importance to life and to human futures would engender a sense of moral engagement. It would mean showing and sharing our sense of connectedness, dependence, gratitude, and commitment to the sea, whose gifts include making this planet capable of supporting Life itself.

– from “A Sea Ethic: Floating the Ark"
 
Welcome and thanks for visiting my website. Here you’ll find information on my work, writings, and global travels. I grew up loving the ocean and its creatures. My childhood by the sea eventually led to scientific studies of seabirds and fish, and to a doctorate in Ecology from Rutgers University. For most of my life, I’ve worked to put ocean fish conservation issues into the wildlife conservation mainstream. I’ve written three books and more than 100 articles for both scientific and mainstream publications. In 2003, I co-founded Blue Ocean Institute, a unique organization that uses science, art, and literature to inspire a closer connection with the sea. Please take time to explore my website. I hope you’ll find inspiration for your own ocean journeys of the mind and heart.
