Helen Scales
“The deep sea will never run out of things for us to dream about. Places will remain unseen and unvisited, fleeting moments will be missed, and nimble creatures, whose existence nobody can guess, will keep slipping out of sight. We need to do all we can to keep it that way.”
Helen Scales, The Brilliant Abyss

Helen Scales
“There are no compelling reasons for exploiting the deep, just industry and politics vying to push into that last frontier.”
Helen Scales, The Brilliant Abyss
