The ocean is the planet largest habitat, yet it remains poorly understood and inadequately protected. Less than ten percent of the ocean is covered by marine protected areas. Meanwhile, industrial fishing fleets deplete fish stocks, plastic pollution accumulates, and rising temperatures bleach coral reefs.
Ocean conservation requires a mix of strategies: expanding marine protected areas, reforming fisheries management, reducing land-based pollution, and addressing climate change. The ocean connects every continent; its health is a global responsibility and a shared inheritance.
