Since 1775, merchant mariners have bravely served our country, and in 1936, the Merchant Marine Act officially established their role in our military as a wartime naval auxiliary.

Yakima doctor tells the tale of 'Antarctic Eden' in words and pictures A land so cold and barren, so forbidding and so far that it has never nourished a human child. The somber magnificence of its pale and wind-ravaged coast draped with the ice and snow that shaped it, carved it out of solid but flowing rock all those uncounted and inhuman centuries ago; ringed by a vital ocean teeming with life, its vibrant waters mostly liquid, sometimes not; life here the thinnest of lovely veneers.

The health of our ocean is vital to our regional economy, local environment and collective well-being. Our coastal waters are a cherished public resource, and their protection requires a combined effort. As a swimmer, a surfer and a scientist, I have seen the degradation of our ocean firsthand. I see the trash on our beaches, swimmers getting sick from dirty water and barren rocks where kelp forests should thrive. And I know how very important it is that we address the many problems that our oceans face before it's too late.
