For those of us who were not lucky enough to make it to Houston for Mission Blue founder Dr. Sylvia Earle’s landmark talk this week, we’re pleased to share the full-length video courtesy of Rice University’s Baker Institute.

From the need for deep exploration to pressing worldwide ocean issues, the focus moved to the unique challenges of the Gulf of Mexico, and what we’ll need to do to save it for tomorrow’s children.
