Australia is the only island continent on the planet which means that changes caused by planet-warming pollution - warmer seas which can drive stronger storms and more acidic oceans which wreak havoc on the food chain - are even more deadly here.

President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.

When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that's science.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean if a few drops of the ocean are dirty the ocean does not become dirty.

Surfing soothes me it's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent peaceful and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave.

If you don't die of thirst there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness which we all yearn for or you can do the beauty of minutiae the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music or Neil Young.

Hawaii was beautiful of course we played at Turtle Bay an amazing resort right on the ocean.

Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone but for the development of his self.
