Leave the Ocean Alone

Both natural and human-made bodies of water have become homes to developed infrastructure used to keep the modern world turning. The resulting environments – the interface of humanity with water – presents us with unavoidably delicate balances.

Our belief is that humans have a responsibility to first manage their terrestrial footprint well, before expanding territorial occupancy to the water world – it is not our environment to take, and as cohabitants of this Blue Planet, we must be extremely responsible with our actions. Spending time immersed within inshore waters reveals all we need to know about the negative impacts of extending our footprint.

Industrial initiatives such as offshore wind development, deep-sea mining, and other resource exploitation should not be undertaken, certainly not at any scale, until we fully know the impacts to the environment, and consequently to US. Until then #leavetheoceanalone.
