John Steinbeck Advocated for Ocean Exploration
- "There is something for everyone in the sea—incredible beauty for the artist, the excitement and danger of exploration for the brave and restless, an open door for the ingenuity and inventiveness of the clever, a new world for the bored, food for the hungry, and incalculable material wealth for the acquisitive—and all of these in addition to the pure clean wonder of increasing knowledge." - excerpt from a 1966 letter from John Steinbeck to Popular Science editor-in-chief Ernest Heyn, as reproduced in an article at popsci.com.
