๐ The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanityโs sustenance and that of every other organism on earth.
๐ The ocean produces at least 50% of the planetโs oxygen.
๐ It is home to most of earthโs biodiversity, and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world.
๐ฐThe ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by 2030.
โ ๏ธ With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished.
๐๐ป We need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean, that no longer depletes its bounty, but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life. ๐ฆ
