Oceans
The oceans regulate our climate, provide for billions of people and are home to so much biodiversity. But plunder for profit by few corporations and governments is threatening their delicate ecosystems. We must protect them for all life.
Let’s protect our blue planet together.
People power has inspired governments around the world to support a ban on deep sea mining and the Global Ocean Treaty provides us with a powerful tool that can create vast ocean sanctuaries, once it is ratified.
Together, we can give our oceans space to recover and thrive, ensuring their health for every future generation.
