And by the time I turned 16,

And Dave Gallo signed on.

In the early '70s,

And we're letting industry run the show.

For a variety of reasons they're dangerous, but we feel that OOl, this Ocean Observatory Initiative, which the National Science Foundation has begun to fund, has the potential to really transform things.

Keep that in mind.

We have some of the partners lined up.

To me, the most mind bending example of the interconnectedness of the ocean comes from an acoustic experiment where oceanographers took a ship to the southern Indian Ocean, deployed an underwater loudspeaker and played back a sound.

And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.

If you're in IT, India, obviously, is the place to be at the moment.

We'll map it within hours, have the maps disseminated out to the major universities.

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

Well, law, Soylent, oceanography...?

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

The ocean floor is being studied by some scientists.

Carolyn Porco mentioned another one called Enceladus the other day.

Most of the science that is behind these numbers, these potential targets, is based on studies on land.

And fortunately, we've been able, as IUCN, to team up with the Census of Marine Life and many of the scientists working there to actually try to translate much of this information to policymakers.

I'm a scientist! I'm with the team!

Dr. Satoshi Takada. Marine biologist. Lieutenant Commander for the Navy since 1997.

It's very very important.

This is the reason why

And this is what most marine scientists have seen too.

No machines have been developed.

It adds up perfectly. Walt's a scientist, scientists love lasers.

I'm just saying.

And it completely threw science on its head.

We said, Could you build this?

Abraham,claimed to be a scientist

He's a scientific researcher from Cambridge.

Expert in a scientific field.

He's a scientist.

Those scientists.

I'm a scientist, remember?

Are you a scientist?

Are you a scientist?

I then, in the last few years,

I'd like to thank everybody, all the scientists, the philosophers, the architects, the inventors, the biologists, the botanists, the artists ... everyone that blew my mind this week.

But we're building that box.

pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

We'll look at sea level rise.

Jacques Yves Cousteau.

He is a scientist.

And nobody really knows what it is or why it's there.

It lost 80 percent of its ice.
