Ghislaine Maxwell

First of all, Your Excellencies, Presidents, Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, I just would like to thank you so much, and it's such an honor to be here.

I'm here representing civil society.

My passion for the ocean, for those of you, there's a slideshow going up there, so you don't just have to hear me.

You can see the pictures as well.

It started when I was a little girl.

I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau on TV and became mesmerized with the oceans.

It led to me becoming a deep worker, submersible pilot.

And ultimately, on one of my first dives, when I went down expecting to see a fish, I switched on the lights at the bottom of the ocean and saw a plastic hanger.
