However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day. I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence. The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: We are all in the same boat.
Jacques Yves Cousteau (1910-1997). Famoso oceanógrafo francês, capitão do navio Calypso, a bordo do qual efectuou numerosos documentários sobre o mar e a vida selvagem marinha. Fundador da Sociedade Cousteau.
