"I spend almost as much time in the oceans as I do in the pool. I've noticed a lot of scary things out there - fewer fish and more pollution. Instead of just accepting this new ocean reality, I decided to get involved and try to make things better. After a bit of research, I discovered Oceana - a group that was already working to protect the things I care about. I told them I'd like to get involved in ocean protection." -- Aaron Peirsol, Olympic swimmer
