Defend the ocean to defend ourselves.
Our future depends on the ocean.
The ocean connects us through food, culture, and sport. It's rich with life and key to fighting climate change. Yet, less than 3% is fully protected. We can do better—by ending pollution, overfishing, and harmful practices, and creating marine protected areas that help the ocean thrive for generations to come.
Take Action
Join the movement to protect our oceans, end harmful practices like bottom trawling and open-net salmon farms, and create vital marine protected areas.
Why it matters
Ecosystem Stability
Protecting the ocean safeguards biodiversity and ensures healthy ecosystems. Marine life provides essential services like oxygen production, carbon storage, and food sources, which are crucial for our global ecosystem and human survival.
Resource Sustainability
Sustainable management of ocean resources ensures long-term food security, livelihoods for coastal communities, and economic stability worldwide. Preserving fisheries, habitats, and marine biodiversity supports resilient ecosystems that benefit both marine life and human societies.
Climate Regulation
The ocean plays a critical role in regulating climate by absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Protecting marine environments helps mitigate climate change impacts such as sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and disruptions to global weather patterns.
