"Bermuda is a beautiful place and I love the ocean. I love playing with my friends in the sea, sailing, and snorkeling. The underwater world is so colourful, diverse, and fascinating. There are so many beautiful species of plants, coral and fish and it is important that we learn about them and protect them. Humans are ruining the planet and we must all urgently start taking care of the world around us."

"I know Bermuda's oceans are worth protecting as they are home for a lot of amazing wildlife and even some that can only be found here on island. Protecting the oceans means that the wildlife can continue to thrive and also allows us to enjoy what the oceans have to offer.
​
The oceans are basically everything that makes up Bermuda so without them Bermuda loses a lot of its charm and beauty."

"Bermuda is world renowned for clear blue waters and blue skies. Our coral reefs protect the Island and our waters are teeming with rich and diverse sea life.
​
Bermuda's ocean provides climate regulation, food, jobs, tourism/economy, leisure and lifestyle. Island life wouldn't exist without our ocean.
It is a major part of our daily lives. Bermuda's future depends on the health of our oceans and preserving and protecting it is of paramount importance for us and for future generations."
