I have been studying human impacts on marine ecosystems
for over a decade and I've seen a change
in how people look at climate change
and climate change's impact on the world.
And I think that we are at a stage where that is transitioning towards more people understanding
that this is a real issue that we need to address. And that's a wonderful change.
So, my hope and what gives me hope is the scientists and the educators
and the people who are working really hard right now to study this
and to get the word out and to make people understand
that this is a problem and it's a problem that we know not necessarily how to solve,
but we have the ability to start to curtail the potential future problems down the road.
And it does give me hope to see people passionately working to address this issue.
