" B) |. N( X0 r' b0 B: S2 B! @My decision to become an ocean advocate didn’t happen all at once. It began with the stories of exploration I loved as a child, and in the flights of imagination sparked by the world maps my father hung around our home. In was fuelled by friends like David Becker, who knew there was something else for me besides being a young London lawyer. ‘Follow your own dream in life, Lewis’ he told me, ‘or you’ll be following someone else’s’. I am so very grateful to him for that.
; f: z& o# s* }  Y2 KIt was in the sense of achievement I felt after my very first Robben Island swim at just 17 years old. That taught me that finishing a job gives you the power and the energy to go on to even bigger things.
Most importantly, it was in the way the natural environment influenced my development. I was awed by my first experience of real African wilds. I was awed in a different way in the Southern Ocean, when I found myself swimming over a graveyard of bones at Whaler’s Bay. I remember my father telling me about the first British atomic bomb test; when he held his hands over his face he saw the bones as if through an x-ray. If this is what a nuclear explosion does to us, I thought to myself, imagine what it is doing to the environment?
. L7 a- [& o7 f6 `By swimming in vulnerable ecosystems, I want to draw attention to the impact of our actions on our oceans. I’ve seen enormous chunks of ice slide off Arctic glaciers. I’ve swum over bleached coral killed by rising sea temperatures, and over the bones of whales hunted to the edge of extinction. I’ve visited lakes high in the Himalayas where once there was only ice. I’ve seen drastic changes in my lifetime – changes that have come about because of our actions. In my lifetime I’d like to see us change. Because we have it within our power to make a positive difference.
When you are truly doing what you love, the sense of purpose is immense. And absolutely nothing seems impossible.

I believe that we can restore the health of the oceans. But it’s up to you and me to take positive action to ensure that the future of our planet is Blue.

我决定成为一个海洋支持者的想法不止发生了一次。它最初开始于就像我作为我喜欢作为一个孩子喜欢探索的故事一样，当我的父亲把一张世界地图挂在我们的家里面的时候，我对飞行员的梦想就迸发了，并由像戴维贝克尔之类的朋友激发点燃了。除了我是伦敦的一个年轻的律师之外谁还会知道究竟会发生什么事情。“生活中跟随你自己的梦想，路易斯”他告诉我，不然你会跟随别人的”。我很感激他。
我在年仅17岁的第一个罗本岛游泳后，我感觉到这就是成就感。那告诉我，完成一件事情可以给更大的力量和能力去做更大的事情。
最重要的是，自然环境影响了我的发展之路。我被我的第一个真正的非洲野外体验敬畏。在南大洋，当我发现自己在满是鲸鱼尸体周围游泳的时候，我被吓坏了。我还记得我的父亲告诉我英国第一次原子弹试验的场景：他手搭凉棚，看到那些鲸鱼的骨头骨头如同招过过X-射线一般。如果这就是一次核爆炸对我们的所作为，我想，难道这就是它对环境的作为吗？
在脆弱的生态系统游泳，我想强调我们对海洋的影响。我已经看到了巨大的冰块滑落北极冰川。我游泳见过因为海洋温度的升高而死亡的白珊瑚，见过被猎杀至灭绝边缘的鲸鱼尸骨。我参观了位于满是冰川的喜马拉雅山的湖泊。我这辈子见过是极端变化，是因为我们的行为而导致的自然环境急剧变化。在我的一生中我想看到我们的改变。因为我们有权力做出积极的改变。

Lewis William Gordon Pugh, OIG (born 5 December 1969) is an ocean advocate, a maritime lawyer and a pioneer swimmer.

Pugh was the first person to complete a long-distance swim in every ocean of the world.[1] He frequently swims in vulnerable ecosystems to draw attention to their plight. He is best known for undertaking the first swim across the North Pole in 2007 to highlight the melting of the Arctic sea ice. In 2010 he swam across a glacial lake on Mount Everest to draw attention to the melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas, and the impact the reduced water supply will have on world peace.

Pugh is a leading figure in efforts to protect the oceans. In 2010 he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum for his "potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world through inspiring leadership."[2] And in 2013 the United Nations Environment Programme appointed him “Patron of the Oceans”.[3] The same year he was inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.
