Swimming the Seven Seas Was an Eye-Opener
- "This summer, I swam long distances in the Seven Seas: the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, Black, Red, Arabian and North Seas. I saw no sharks, no whales, no dolphins. I saw no fish longer than 11 inches. The larger ones had all been fished out. When I swam in the Aegean, the sea floor was covered with litter; I saw tires and plastic bags, bottles, cans, shoes and clothing." - excerpts from Op-Ed in the NY Times.
