As divers and ocean lovers, shouldn't we be the  best advocates for a healthy ocean and planet? In the midst of climate uncertainty, it's time to redefine what it means to enjoy nature, recalibrate our measurements of progress, and dream up the world that we do want for our lifetimes and the generations after us. I hope you'll join me.   Follow Eco-Conscious Diver: @ecoconsciousdiver Follow Caitlin: @seacaitlinmccall www.eco-consciousdiver.com
