I believe that the ocean harbors life, life that I must protect.

I believe that the ocean is mankind’s greatest common heritage.

I believe that the diversity of the ocean is important to sustaining human life

I believe that I am part of but one ocean, and that everything I do

Affects the delicate balance of life on earth.

I believe that it is my duty to protect the ocean

I believe that, by protecting the ocean, I help protect the future.

Therefore, I pledge to always live in harmony with the ocean
