Two great quotes from two great men. I hope you profit from them as much as I have (Gerry Goeden).




“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”
 
                                                                                                                   ― 
Mahatma Gandhi











“The oceans are the planet's last great living wilderness, man's only remaining frontier on Earth, and perhaps his last chance to prove himself a rational species.” 


                                                                                                              ― John L. Culliney

"Where nature is concerned we just have to understand that most of the time we don’t understand. We can’t go into an ecological system that evolved hundreds of millions of years before man set foot on the planet and think we can exploit it however we wish and that it will simply cope with our being there."                                                                               

                                                                                 Dr Gerry Goeden

Gerry is a Malaysian based marine ecologist, photographer, and writer. Many of these quotes are taken from his publications.


“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)

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.
