Our oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water. They produce over half of the world's oxygen and are home to an incredible diversity of life. Join us in protecting this vital ecosystem for future generations.
Take Action NowOceans are the lifeblood of planet Earth and humankind. They flow over nearly three-quarters of our planet and hold 97% of the planet's water. They produce more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere and absorb the most carbon from it.
Despite their importance, oceans are facing unprecedented threats from pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Every year, an estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the ocean, equivalent to dumping a garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute.
Our campaign aims to raise awareness about these critical issues and inspire action to protect marine ecosystems and the incredible biodiversity they support.
Our oceans are home to an incredible diversity of life, but many species are now facing extinction due to human activities. Here are some of the most vulnerable marine species that need our protection.
Six of the seven sea turtle species are classified as threatened or endangered due to habitat destruction, poaching, and plastic pollution.
The largest animal on Earth, blue whales were nearly driven to extinction by whaling and now face threats from ship strikes and climate change.
Coral reefs support 25% of marine life but are dying at alarming rates due to ocean warming, acidification, and pollution.
Human activities are putting immense pressure on marine ecosystems. These are the most pressing threats facing our oceans today.
Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, harming marine life and entering the food chain.
90% of global fish stocks are fully exploited or overfished, disrupting marine ecosystems.
Rising temperatures and acidification are destroying coral reefs and altering marine habitats.
Chemical runoff, oil spills, and other pollutants are poisoning marine environments.
Everyone can make a difference in protecting our oceans. Here are simple but powerful actions you can take to help preserve marine ecosystems.
Use reusable bags, bottles, and containers to minimize plastic waste that could end up in the ocean.
Look for MSC-certified seafood to support sustainable fishing practices.
Participate in local beach or river cleanups to prevent trash from reaching the ocean.
Reduce your carbon footprint to help combat ocean acidification and warming.
Share your knowledge about ocean conservation with friends and family.
Donate to or volunteer with groups working to protect marine environments.
