I've been on 19 hardcore expeditions.

I led three diving expeditions to Antarctica.

And so, we started planning these expeditions.

They don't give you money for expeditions.

As we did some of our subsequent expeditions,

So two wrongful fishing expeditions make a right?

I've done about 120, 121 I keep doing them expeditions.

I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions.

And we almost sank the ship, but I became enraptured with mounting expeditions.

I mean, I think with the ballooning and boating expeditions we've done in the past.

I think polar expeditions are perhaps not that far removed from having a crack habit.

So I began to work with National Geographic Society and others and led expeditions to Antarctica.

I led a five year National Geographic expedition, the Sustainable Seas expeditions, using these little subs.

In fact we've done two more Blue Zone expeditions since this and these common denominators hold true.

Right now there are major expeditions being planned for next year that I'll talk a little bit about.

There were three other expeditions on the mountain, an American team, a New Zealand team and an IMAX team.

Then I could have graduate students, and I could write NSF grants, and I sent out expeditions all over

And let's start with this time machine, the Line Islands, where we have conducted a series of National Geographic expeditions.

And we started the Sorcerer II Expedition, where we were, as with great oceanographic expeditions, trying to sample the ocean every 200 miles.

Whereas all previous expeditions had failed to garner a single video glimpse of the giant, we managed six, and the first triggered wild excitement.

The last 10 years have been detail after detail ranging from creating legislation to multiple research expeditions to communication plans, as I said, teams of lawyers,

And then I sent out expeditions all over the world, and it was 1993 and that's when Steven Spielberg called me up and asked me if I wanted to work on a movie.

So, having done these expeditions, and really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing, amazing animals they're basically aliens right here on Earth.

I wish you would use all means at your disposal films, expeditions, the web, new submarines and campaign to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas hope spots large enough to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet.

Well, from that discussion grew this program that involved 2,700 scientists from more than 80 countries around the world who engaged in 540 ocean expeditions at a combined cost of 650 million dollars to study the distribution, diversity and abundance of life in the global ocean.

This year marks the 100th birthday commemoration of my grandfather's and we are proud to say that we're on expeditions all over the world, and continuing on in his footsteps and instead of describing the kind of beauty, and majesty, and mystery that we see in our everyday lives on expedition,
