Brooke Bessesen
“Sarah rotated her chair and glanced out her office window at the gray afternoon sky. “People who love the ocean often ask me what they can do to save it,” she said.
“And what do you tell them?”
She swiveled to face me. “Eat sustainably caught seafood. Ask where your seafood comes from and support people who are doing the right thing. And you will bite by bite change the world.”
Brooke Bessesen, Vaquita: Science, Politics, and Crime in the Sea of Cortez

“There is simply no issue more important. Conservation is the preservation of human life on earth, and that, above all else, is worth fighting for.”
Rob Stewart, Sharkwater
