"In the end we will conserve only what we love. We love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught." -- Baba Dioum
The ocean has the power to astonish all of us with its mysteries and vast forces. For people of all ages, a trip to the beach is a visit to another world that exerts great pull on our curiosity. But we also know that we affect the ocean, for better or worse. Whether we simply want to understand the ocean more because of that curiosity, or we want to act in ways that conserve the ocean's resources, we all must become "ocean literate."
