Our ocean defines
our planet.It sustains us… and it is home
-
to more than half of all life on earth today.
-
The presence of the ocean touches every living
thing… no matter where it lives…
-
The air we breathe, and the water we consume, are
ultimately linked to the seas.
-
The ocean drives our weather… and stabilises
our climate.
-
Nowhere is more powerful and unforgiving…
-
yet more
beautiful and endlessly fascinating.
-
Yet for too long, we have taken the ocean
for granted.
-
Our actions have pushed species
-
to the brink…
-
And impacted on every ocean habitat… no
matter how remote… or how deep.
-
We haven’t understood what the ocean does for us.
-
The effects of climate change have been softened
by the ocean.
-
But now we are facing the consequences: the
seas are warming… rising… and becoming
-
more acidic.
-
It’s a sobering thought, that coral reefs
may be lost within the next century.
-
We all need a healthy ocean, so we must change
our ways.Together, with the right management,
-
we can re-populate the seas...
-
We can reduce marine pollution… and minimise
the impact of ocean acidification.
-
The ocean’s power of regeneration is remarkable…
if we just offer it the chance.
-
It’s not too late.
-
We are in reach of a whole new relationship
with the ocean… a wiser, more sustainable
-
relationship.
-
The choice lies with us.
