Abstract: "At the 9th Our Ocean Conference in Athens, Mongabay’s Elizabeth Claire Alberts interviewed oceanographer and marine biologist Sylvia Earle about the pressures facing our oceans, actions needed to turn things around, and how to find hope for the future. Earle has been a trailblazer in her career as a scientist, with more than 225 publications to her name, leading more than 100 expeditions, and breaking records as the first woman to venture into the deep ocean in a submersible and also to perform the deepest untethered sea walk. She’s currently president and chair of the NGO Mission Blue and an explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society. Now in her late 80s, she still spends most of her time traveling the world to inspire action to protect the ocean.
