As the cradle of life, the Ocean is essential to the planet’s stability
The Ocean covers 71% of the planet’s surface and represents over 90% of the inhabitable volume for the living world. It is the main pool of biodiversity: it is home to 240,000 known species as well as many others that have not yet been recorded.
The Ocean and marine biodiversity also provide mankind with many vital services: climate regulation, sources of food, medicine, minerals and energy, etc.
Human activity, the main cause of Ocean degradation
The Ocean and marine species are suffering directly from human activities: overfishing, pollution (plastics, heavy metals, chemicals), destruction of key ecosystems, disturbances (noise, light)…
We can all do something for the health of the Ocean
Marine ecosystems are amazingly resilient, it is not too late to protect and restore them, but it is urgent.
