Our Ocean, an Ocean for Life
Over 3 billion people depend directly on our seas for their livelihoods. But in reality, all of us depend on the ocean: for our water, our food, our climate and our air.
Seas and oceans enrich our identity, ensure our wellbeing and sustain a large part of the economy.
Human action has left our ocean heavily affected by pollution, overexploitation, coastal degradation and global warming. This has severe consequences for all.
A new vision is needed, along with strong and action-oriented commitments.
