She's the Jane Goodall of oceans. Magnificent TED talk.

This makes me cry. I love the ocean so much! I have always had a strong connection to nature and knowing that it is dying because of human selfishness hurts me so much.

what a shame that this TED talk has not had 7,000,000 views.... inspiring and yet somewhat sad...

WE MUST NOT FAIL TO PROTECT THE OCEAN. the business men/women behind Unilever and other grand sea food companies must know and adapt to the needs for a stable ocean life.

We thank Sylvia Earle for her tireless dedication to protecting the world's seas.

Fantastic TED talk! We absolutely must protect our oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and the planet at large - or face extinction.

As things stand now, IT IS TOO LATE. SAD TO SAY. I found Ted talks and enjoyed almost 9 out of 10.....intelligent, caring people, giving intelligent Information.....not like TV news... and I don't just mean mainstream anymore. Unfortunately, where were all you intelligent, caring, and knowledgeable people years ago on climate "change".... because now it is more like a climate "crisis"..... EMERGENCY even, WHAT DO YOU THINK?????

What an amazing woman with a true purpose in life. Love it

Can you please re-upload this talk TED? It is so important and so good. It surely deserves it

Brilliant woman. A genius in our own time, with a heart of gold, calling for us to help save our heart of blue.

To be honest, the fact that youtube pushes music videos to billions of views and not put this kind of video on its homepage for everyone, every day is mindblowing. Social channels have a better role to play.

I completely agree. But skip the "to be honest". If we are grown-ups, we should all be honest about how our species is ruining (parts of) this planet.

It’s so sad that it’s 11 years later and people are still saying the same things today and not much has changed

We need an Ocean Man

Dr Sylvia Earle is amazing!!!! I am a great fan!!!

This is so worth the time to watch & listen. It's scary how far we have come in depleting the oceans. Everyone needs to make a stand to save them for us, our children , Our grandchildren.. for if we continue to strip the seas- our entire life as we know it on earth will be gone.-

And 13 years later, where are we? Amazing Talk!

Incredible and inspirational. Yes this should be shown in schools. In fact, there should be an education program solely about the environment. The children that are in the schools now are fundamental to the future of this planet.

Great speaker for a great cause!

Truly inspirational. Keep spreading the word!

An inspiring speech from an amazing woman.

She is such an inspiration. Wish I could do half of she has done for this world

An AMAZING Talk!! We all need to be AWARE & VIGILANT to protect the Earth & the Seas of our Beautiful Planet!! It should be shown in all schools, government institutions, Business Organisations, included in Mission Statements of all major programmes in construction & engineering. Taken on board every step taken when interfering with our ecosystem, in Space Explorations and countries land reclamations & city urbanisation! Showing it repeatedly in celebrations singing our 'Oath Earth Anthems'

This beautiful lady is a gem of this century and the last. What a wonderful human being.

Paradise lost, indeed. I wish more people would pay attention to this topic. It's crucial! You can almost see it right in front of your eyes, here in St. John, USVI. Massive changes in short periods of time...

I love these TED talks.

Woah, can't understand why isn't isn't the top video on TedTalks. This is fantastic, because it shows you a world that you don't see often, but is real and important.

Wow, this is truly amazing and poetic. She is a great speaker!

thank you for this beautiful speech.

Brilliant research that desreved recognition. Weldone Sylvia.

Listening to Dr. Earl's brilliant, compelling perspective there's only one conclusion to be made: Leave the oceans alone, stop eating fish, let the oceans recover. If we don't, we won't survive.

Thanks Dr. Slyvia. This would be the my favorite video ever presented by youtube.

I have a lot of respect for Sylvia Earle, Google being as big as it is could help with her wish of saving the Oceans.

I do not want this Tedx Talk to end. She is amazing and so is her research and her will to save the ocean and hence our Planet.

THAT is a video that should be seen by millions of people! Her voice and speech are amazing! We are so connected to the Oceans, but I guess a lot of people don't know that.

I am going to bookmark it.... This is eye opening... Thanks Sylvia.

This is amazing!!

What about the great pacific garbage patch? I'd like to see that on google maps.

I was born near the sea and my livelihood came from the sea. As a child i learned alot of things about the sea. I am now an Advanced PADI Diver and it has been my dream to become a Marine Biologist. I think that people who live near the sea should be educated on Conserving marine life since it is part of our Eco-System, especially children. The ocean is my life and would do anything to save it.

Truly inspiring.

Brilliant, we connect this information to the youth. It is important because they are our future.

I am curious how many people who watched this video have actually made that small personal change to protect our planet (and oceans) and stopped eating seafood (and meat, meat products in general)? We all are masters to talk, but still continue doing the same things. If we do the same, we will get the same results. The smaller change with the greatest impact starts in our own kitchen. I've changed my diet and will never eat fish, meat and meat products again, you?

This is a wonderful presentation of a not so wonderful subject, the state of the ocean. People just don't realize what is happening and that the ocean is the mother of all life on earth. If the ocean dies, we die. Its such a paradox that as we expand our knowledge of the universe, physics and make great technological leaps, we ignore what is happening to planet earth and our support system. I wish I had hope for humanity as a whole. All each of us can do is make as big an impact as we can.

We, and the previous generation knew what was happening, and they did make a big impact.... It's called the CARBON FOOT PRINT. McPherson has quoted another scientist, maybe Hansen, as saying as much as 8yrs ago, " LIFE IS A HEAT ENGINE."

I agree, this is a video that needs to be seen by millions and millions of people! Yes the problem is people..but the bigger problem is the CHOICES PEOPLE are making. That is what she is talking about..and we the people of the earth CAN CHANGE THINGS..if we start making different choices.

The is such a powerfull speech.

I agree. What can we do?

All the best...

important message!

everyone “NEEDS” to watch Mission Blue on Netflix 🦈🐋🐠🐟🐬🐳

If you are curious about this person, about the mission, about what she is talking about, see the movie : MISSION BLUE. Where you can educate yourself, and learn, and maybe even decide. Search it up, Mission Blue. ;-)

No ocean = no life support system No water = no life Excellent speech on oceans.

I lived in Luanda, Angola in 2015, of the few times I went by boat it was disappointing to see so many garbage dumps in the sea, several times we had to stop to take out the garbage because it got tangled and clogged the boat, there was plastic, cans etc I am shocked and saddened. Luanda is a very ascinated city with a high production of garbage and a deficit for its collection and proper disposal, added to that there is a cultural and sensitive deficit towards the issue of recycling and protection of the planet and the oceans. If someone reads this comment, it may help raise awareness among the people and leaders of that country for the good of our planet.

That was powerful.

Bravo Zulu! Dr. Sylvia Earle, Wishing you a long life 🙏

Once the plastic is in the ocean it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remove

If ever there was a testament to the oceans and bio-diversity it is this. Incredible.

I'm sad you didn't see passion in Dr. Earle, as she is someone who has long inspired me to care for the ocean. Although I personally find this video inspiring, I do think she is a better writer than speaker. I recommend reading The World is Blue, in which she writes compellingly--and with a great deal of passion--about our dependance on the ocean. Might change your opinion of her!

Should never have gotten to this point..... infinite population growth on a finite planet. What were people thinking? Ther are a very few who are using there brains and realizing that it is and should not be, all about their egos. Unfortunately, people are still having babies and sentencing them to a horrible and sad future. Unbelievable. The earth is a FINITE PLANET. People have been known to say, " what's wrong with the world?"......but as my intelligent grandmother used to say, " there's nothing wrong with the world, it's the people in it." She was so smart.....💕

Watched Seaspiracy, found her. This video needs more views and the cause needs more care.

This should be shown in schools.

“The time is NOW”🔥🦈

@dmcdonaldak It was shown in my school. Really touching video.

everyone share this video to your friends and family members and start making change!

I agree---start showing this in school!!!! Educate the young!!!!

palestra fantástica

Can anyone tell me what degree she got in college?

A brilliant analysis of how the earth is poised for destruction if we do not heed Sylvia"s words.

for the life of me I can not imagine the thumbs down (as small as those numbers are)on such an important gift of this presentation...there is no Planet B

I hope it was so simple... Have a nice life.

Sea food and fish are a part of my everyday diet at home, but... I think... I don't really want to eat fish anymore after this. At least, not at the rate it has been. It really puts things in to perspective when you see stuff like this.

woow i cried in the middle of her speech, man she has so much passion for suriving, and its lthat why i want to pretoct the ocean too, but not for humans, i coulnt care less about the humans, but for the animals, i want to do it for the animals

@OmarHaleemOne i love this post!

I think this might be a viable solution, but if eating cows, chicken, pork, etc, is also damaging to the environment, what do we eat? Do you think there's a reasonable alternative (save having the whole world go vegetarian)?

@lestony97 I think the only one is the George Costanza, he is the one who saved the whale!

I wholeheartedly agree. Any industry that cuts corners to provide shoddy food should be shut down. That being said, there are oodles environmental engineers who could help us build those farms and make them produce healthy fish foods:).
