Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war.

I am excited to announce that my third book will be an ocean conservation science and policy textbook!

If you're an ocean scientist, a frontline conservation practitioner, or an educator, we'd sure love your input on how to make this book as useful for everyone as possible!

Over the past five years or so, whenever I get discouraged, I ask myself: "Who would be happy if I quit now?"
