“There has long been a belief that the
sea, at least, was inviolate, beyond man’s ability to change and to despoil.
But this belief, unfortunately, has proved to be naïve.”
(Rachel Carson, “The Sea Around Us”, 1951)
(Rachel Carson, “The Sea Around Us”, 1951)
I had the immense pleasure of meeting the
lady who changed the world and launched the conservation movement through her
books when I was only 16. Rachel Carson had already written “Silent Spring” and
“The Sea Around Us” when I was at my most impressionable. My career in marine
science was her fault; and each day I thank her.
