The ocean is obviously our biggest and most important natural resource. Consider that it's twice the size of all continents combined, and it's almost totally unexplored. It's thrilling to be able to explore it.

So, I'm on a mission to make you excited, make many people excited, and to support scientists doing their research on this, the way Jacques Cousteau did for me. So here I am at COP. I'm extremely excited about COP. I'll tell you about COP in another time, but I just want to let you know that so much is happening.

Just to give you a taste of it, for example, this is a manned submersible. It goes down 1,000 meters (3,000 feet), and we have a couple of those. We have 6,000-meter vehicles that go down and cover 98% of the ocean that have 3D 360°. Anyway, there's a lot of stuff, a lot of ways to get excited, and we're doing that through the initiative of OceanX.

You're going to be able to see a series like Jacques Cousteau did, and a lot more. I also want to tell you about COP. I mean, COP is in many ways very exciting and then also very concerning. You get both, but that's a subject for another time. Right now, I'm just going to leave you with that bit and tell you there's more to come.
