If we do not change our ways, there will be neither a sea, nor will there be a place to call home. Changes in the sea affect all of us, not just the creatures swimming in it. In “My Wish: Protect Our Oceans,” an idea expressed live on the TED talk stage, Sylvia Earle shares her discoveries on how the oceans creatures, and its natural resources have been depleted by more than ninety percent in the last fifty years.
According to the TED talk website, “TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks.” TED launched in 1984, and since then, they have allowed thousands of speakers to share their ideas globally, in over a hundred different languages (“Our Organization”). Earle, one of the thousands of speakers on TED, is an American marine biologist, explorer, author, and lecturer. She has accompanied more than fifty expeditions and spent over seven-thousand hours underwater (Earle). Earle’s eye-opening talk on the deep blue sea explains the importance of the ocean, how new technologies are helping us understand the nature of nature, and discusses how the world is trying to protect the remanence of the natural system that gives us …show more content…

In addition, ninety-seven percent of Earth’s water is ocean. The other three percent that is not found in the ocean, is located in glaciers and ice, beneath the ground, in rivers and lakes (Earle). If people still believe the ocean is not important, envision Earth without an ocean. Many people think of Mars. No ocean, means no life support
