What was Cousteau's core idea about humanity and the ocean?

Answered in Jacques Cousteau's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My central belief, forged from countless dives, is that humanity and the ocean are inextricably linked. We are not separate from the sea; we are part of its grand, living tapestry. The health of the ocean directly impacts the health of our 'blue planet,' and by extension, our own future. Understanding the ocean is, in a very real sense, understanding ourselves and our place within the larger web of life. It is a profound truth that the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
