The Oceans As a Public Trust
- "Finally, we must embrace our oceans as a public trust, and accept responsibility for their stewardship. Theodore Roosevelt said, "the nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, not impaired, in value." We owe it to our children to turn over clean beaches, abundant marine life, and healthy oceans." - quote from Leon Panetta, Chair of the Pew Oceans Committee, at http://www.pewoceans.org/articles/2002/10/25/pr_29891.asp
