“Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man – who has no gills.” – Ambrose Bierce

There is a commonly held belief that this world was made for mankind. However, when most look to the sea and the millions of life forms that most men will never even see, we may come to the humbling realization that we might just have our belief backwards. If the idea that the planet was made for us caused us to wreak this much havoc upon it in the name of dominion, will the idea that we are here for the planet cause us to bring just as much healing?
