Once upon a time, there was the sea.
Not so long ago. It was still there when I was a child.
Regulator, mask, and fins had just been invented, and for the first time in human history, we glimpsed what had always lain hidden beneath the sea’s surface, discovering a second Paradise, after the earthly one lost long ago.
However, when you dive into the sea wearing a mask, what do you see? Almost nothing.
To you, it may seem normal, but in front of our beaches, there were once beautiful seabeds that today can’t even be seen in documentaries anymore.
Today, one must go to the ends of the earth to get an idea of what the sea used to look like.
The problem is us: we fish and pollute too much.
Fortunately, the sea has extraordinary vitality. If we leave it alone, the sea returns to how it was when I was a child. We can revive this second Paradise. Indeed, we must.
And do you know why? Because there is no third.
