Sylvia Earle : Oceanographer
A living legend. A hero for the planet. These are just two of the many descriptions of Sylvia Earle and her love for the ocean. It's a love that started when she was a child, and has continued her whole adult life.
A Women of Firsts
For over 40 years, Earle has been a leader on deep ocean expeditions around the world. Earle says that great thing about exploration is that it's never over. Even so, spending 6,000 hours underwater --- like she has --- is amazing!
Inspiring Others
Being a marine scientist isn't Earle's only job. She believes she must inspire people to solve the ocean's problems. She wants people. "Find out what you want to do. Then find a way to make it happen . . . If you have a dream of your own, don't wait!"
