| "Who isn’t made blissful sitting at water’s edge staring at the horizon, hypnotized by that delicate, nearly imperceptible-yet-somehow-distinct line where blue meets blue? Who among us doesn’t count those solitary, sunset-washed moments — whether afloat on a boat or feet dug deep into the sand — as among the favorites in a lifetime?" — Jon Bowermaster, filmmaker and author of eleven books and editor of Oceans: The Threat to Our Seas and What You Can Do to Turn the Tide. | | Read Jon's post on the Etsy Blog and tell us your creative ways of protecting our oceans in the comments. | |
