Uniting And Activating Powerful Voices For Ocean Conservation
One Planet, One Ocean
The Ocean provides half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs a quarter of our CO2 emissions and over 90% of the heat from those emissions, puts food on our plates and is home to 80% of all life on Earth. But it is in danger – and so are we. You may not be able to tell from above the surface, but the threats are many and the risks are real: plastic is choking sea life, pollution is causing ‘dead zones’, corals are dying, the Ocean is warming and becoming more acidic, and too many boats are chasing fewer and fewer fish.
It’s not too late to solve this crisis. The Ocean is amazingly resilient and can recover, but it needs each and every one of us to play a part.
