I used to dream off being Jacque Cousteau, exploring the seven seas with my team.

Within just a few generations, the underwater world has changed dramatically all over the planet.

So many places are now void of life.

Our destruction of the natural world isn't just happening on the water.

What can take millennia to create can be destroyed in hours.

Consequences for us, our diet far reaching and often unexpected.

I've spent my entire life studying natural ecosystems in places both pristine and degraded on.

Have worked for 30 years.

Toe help Save what's left way have doubled the total area protected in the ocean.

Our life support system depends on all other species intact natural spaces.

Without them, everything falls out of balance.

But nature.

It's a sustainable, resilient and regenerative engine.

It's time we get out of the way and let it work for us.

Today the world is at the crossroad.
