To care for the ocean
is to care for ourselves

"

The ocean sustains us

The ocean feeds us
Regulates our climate
Creates more than half the oxygen we breathe
Carries our goods, inspires our medicines, shapes our technologies
​
It has sustained us for millions of years
without asking us to listen closer, until now
​

Voices from the ocean

"

I am vast, patient and resilient,
but not infinite

- The ocean

"

I survived near extinction once
I help keep the Earth cool, absorb carbon
and inspire many innovations

- Whales

"

I can build entire cities, a home for millions of creatures that help the sea and Earth

- Coral

Warmer ocean water is killing me faster than I can build

The ocean's mysteries

95% of the ocean remains unexplored

Technology is helping us learn more about the beauty and resilience of the ocean,
and about the delicate balance that sustains it

The ocean's story is becoming clearer every day
It shows there is a limit
What that limit is, we don't yet know

"

Humanity can count on the ocean, but can the ocean count on us? Today and every day, let’s put the ocean first

 

- António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
