Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.85,0:02:23.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it wasn't until this guy,\NStephen Mather,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.74,0:02:35.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, something was done about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.39,0:02:37.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Department of the Interior\Nwrote him back.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.58,0:02:40.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Mr Mather, if you care\Nso much about this,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.14,0:02:45.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he did.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.94,0:02:48.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He took a job at the Department\Nof the Interior,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.23,0:02:51.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but more importantly,\Nhe started a campaign.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.30,0:02:57.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He actually had a meeting\Ntwo blocks from here, in 1914,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.46,0:03:01.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he brought together the park\Nsuperintendents and a few other people

Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.60,0:03:09.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they put together a plan,\Nthey hatched a campaign
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.56,0:03:14.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that eventually led to the\NNational Park Service in 1916.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.74,0:03:16.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's really important.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.10,0:03:20.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because it went from an idea\Nthat we should protect these places
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.13,0:03:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to an actual plan,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.64,0:03:25.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a way for people to enlist\Nand carry that idea forward
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.71,0:03:26.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for future generations,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.00,0:03:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so little kids like me can go\Nand have these amazing experiences.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.49,0:03:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The ocean, what I want\Nto talk to you about today,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.26,0:03:40.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a completely different story.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.06,0:03:43.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we are almost precisely\N100 years behind.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.32,0:03:47.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first marine\Nsanctuary was in 1972,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.10,0:03:50.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after the oil spill in Santa Barbara,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.17,0:03:52.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people got interested\Nin taking that concept
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.90,0:03:56.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and applying it\Nto underwater environments.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.18,0:03:59.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We've had our own John Muir,\Nwho's Dr. Sylvia Earle,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.21,0:04:04.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for creating these marine\Nprotected areas around the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.55,0:04:07.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I know there's a lot\Nof bad news about the ocean,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.78,0:04:10.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's plastic pollution,\Ncoral bleaching, over-fishing --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.92,0:04:13.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's hard to take it all in sometimes.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.84,0:04:19.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this idea of setting aside\Nplaces for nature is working.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.30,0:04:22.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Science tells us that if you\Nset these places aside,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.47,0:04:25.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nature will come back\Nand we can keep the oceans healthy.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.64,0:04:27.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we know this idea works.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.14,0:04:32.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Dr. Sylvia Earl\Nhas been influential, like John Muir,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.12,0:04:33.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with administrations --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.32,0:04:37.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,George W. Bush and Obama\Nwere both fantastic ocean presidents,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.20,0:04:40.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,creating marine protected areas\Nall around the country.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.17,0:04:44.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is not a conservative idea\Nor a liberal idea,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.47,0:04:46.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's not even an American idea,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.75,0:05:01.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And now the administration is proposing\Nto roll back a lot of the progress

Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.22,0:06:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, actually, I think we can dust off\NStephen Mather's playbook.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.15,0:06:26.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what did he do?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.37,0:06:29.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, the first thing that he did\Nwas he focused on infrastructure.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.94,0:06:32.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So 1914 wasn't just\Nthe time for the parks,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.01,0:06:39.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Stephen Mather understood

Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.24,0:06:45.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so he partnered with highway\Nassociations around the country

Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.90,0:06:52.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it worked, he's basically\Ninvented car camping.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.72,0:06:56.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he knew that if people\Ndidn't go to these places,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.36,0:07:01.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was a really insightful\Nidea that he had.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.03,0:07:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, Stephen Mather was a successful\Nbusinessman from Chicago,
