There is so much in the ocean that lies beyond our control — we cannot calm every storm, we cannot cool the warming seas, and we cannot save every creature struggling beneath the waves. Yet when we know where the reefs are fading, where turtles fight to reach the shore, where dolphins are lost to nets, and where coastal communities stand at the edge of change, then we can act. With knowledge comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes hope. We may not be able to shape the tides, but we can protect the lives shaped by them. Together, we can restore what has been damaged, defend what remains, and give the ocean a future worth fighting for.
