PROTECTING THE OCEAN,
IS TO PROTECT LIFE
The ocean represents 71% of the earth’s surface and 97% of the space available for life. The planet’s true blue lung, it produces 50% of the Earth’s oxygen, more than all the world’s forests put together. It absorbs 25% of CO2 emissions.
Il connecte les humains et en nourrit directement 3,5 milliards. Les océans sont confrontés à certaines des plus grandes menaces : changement climatique, acidification, pollution, destruction des habitats et de la biodiversité, surpêche, etc.
There’s an urgent need for action. Our solution? Support ocean research!
