hi everyone so yeah I’m an engineer which is kind of
so yeah I’m an engineer which is kind of
so yeah I’m an engineer which is kind of a strange thing to be involved in
a strange thing to be involved in
a strange thing to be involved in conservation work but you know I my day
conservation work but you know I my day
conservation work but you know I my day job is I’m a satellite propulsion
job is I’m a satellite propulsion
job is I’m a satellite propulsion engineer so that basically means that I
engineer so that basically means that I
engineer so that basically means that I use rocket science to help get
use rocket science to help get
use rocket science to help get satellites and other unmanned spacecraft
satellites and other unmanned spacecraft
satellites and other unmanned spacecraft from Earth into the orbital slot that
from Earth into the orbital slot that
from Earth into the orbital slot that they need to sit in and it was when I
they need to sit in and it was when I
they need to sit in and it was when I went to Stanford where I really kind of
went to Stanford where I really kind of
went to Stanford where I really kind of saw the real issue behind what’s going
saw the real issue behind what’s going
saw the real issue behind what’s going on with our oceans and it was there that
on with our oceans and it was there that
on with our oceans and it was there that I saw a good fit for a technology-based
I saw a good fit for a technology-based
I saw a good fit for a technology-based solution so the tragedy of our ocean
solution so the tragedy of our ocean
solution so the tragedy of our ocean comments our oceans are at this very
comments our oceans are at this very
comments our oceans are at this very unique point right now and they have a
unique point right now and they have a
unique point right now and they have a different kind of conservation challenge
different kind of conservation challenge
different kind of conservation challenge than maybe some of like the terrestrial
than maybe some of like the terrestrial
than maybe some of like the terrestrial challenges and part of the reason why is
challenges and part of the reason why is
challenges and part of the reason why is is because of this a lot of the times
is because of this a lot of the times
is because of this a lot of the times when people look out at the oceans they
when people look out at the oceans they
when people look out at the oceans they see just this they see the surface so it
see just this they see the surface so it
see just this they see the surface so it makes it a little difficult to
makes it a little difficult to
makes it a little difficult to demonstrate the dire need in protecting
demonstrate the dire need in protecting
demonstrate the dire need in protecting the species under there when most people
the species under there when most people
the species under there when most people just look out and they only see this so
just look out and they only see this so
just look out and they only see this so I’m I wish it was just as easy to look
I’m I wish it was just as easy to look
I’m I wish it was just as easy to look out here and tell the number of bluefin
out here and tell the number of bluefin
out here and tell the number of bluefin tuna remaining you know as we can look
tuna remaining you know as we can look
tuna remaining you know as we can look out and see how many black rhino or
out and see how many black rhino or
out and see how many black rhino or Mexican gray wolf are still out there so
Mexican gray wolf are still out there so
Mexican gray wolf are still out there so overfishing I’m sure a lot of you guys
overfishing I’m sure a lot of you guys
overfishing I’m sure a lot of you guys have heard the statistics on how bad it
have heard the statistics on how bad it
have heard the statistics on how bad it really truly is but but overfishing and
really truly is but but overfishing and
really truly is but but overfishing and illegal fishing is currently kind of the
illegal fishing is currently kind of the
illegal fishing is currently kind of the greatest risk we have to our ocean and
greatest risk we have to our ocean and
greatest risk we have to our ocean and coastal ecosystems not only that but it
coastal ecosystems not only that but it
coastal ecosystems not only that but it has huge implications on global food
has huge implications on global food
has huge implications on global food security and it could really really
security and it could really really
security and it could really really cause a huge huge issue in our future
cause a huge huge issue in our future
cause a huge huge issue in our future and so I’m sure you’ve heard this
and so I’m sure you’ve heard this
and so I’m sure you’ve heard this statistics before you know ninety
statistics before you know ninety
statistics before you know ninety percent of our large fish have
percent of our large fish have
percent of our large fish have disappeared we can possibly get to the
disappeared we can possibly get to the

point in this century where global foods
point in this century where global foods fish stocks could collapse and our
fish stocks could collapse and our
fish stocks could collapse and our current fishing fleet is about
current fishing fleet is about
current fishing fleet is about halftimes what are the capacity of our
halftimes what are the capacity of our
halftimes what are the capacity of our planet can sustainably handle so what
planet can sustainably handle so what
planet can sustainably handle so what can we do to change this well to get
can we do to change this well to get
can we do to change this well to get into that I’m gonna talk a little bit
into that I’m gonna talk a little bit
into that I’m gonna talk a little bit about a story I went to Palau in 2009
about a story I went to Palau in 2009
about a story I went to Palau in 2009 was with Stanford University and the
was with Stanford University and the
was with Stanford University and the point of the trip was to really talk to
point of the trip was to really talk to
point of the trip was to really talk to the people of Palau about
the people of Palau about
the people of Palau about entrepreneurship but we had a focus that
entrepreneurship but we had a focus that
entrepreneurship but we had a focus that we wanted to talk to him about how they

the same time we called the series of meetings we had green plow I mean my
meetings we had green plow I mean my
meetings we had green plow I mean my whole purpose there was to talk about
whole purpose there was to talk about
whole purpose there was to talk about how they could use technology
how they could use technology
how they could use technology specifically low cost technology to help
specifically low cost technology to help
specifically low cost technology to help protect this pristine environment you

Palau I had a chance to do some field
Palau I had a chance to do some field work and I was talking to a lot of the
work and I was talking to a lot of the
