The oceans, covering more than 70% of the Earth's surface, are the lungs of our planet, providing at least 50% of the oxygen we breathe. They are home to a staggering 80% of the world’s biodiversity and are vital for global food security, livelihoods, and climate regulation. Yet, these critical ecosystems are increasingly threatened by pollution, overfishing, climate change, and habitat destruction.

Global scientific consensus supports the urgent need to protect at least 30% of our oceans by 2030 to safeguard marine biodiversity and ensure the resilience of ocean ecosystems. Achieving this goal by 2030 is not just an ambition; it is a necessity to maintain ecological balance and protect our future.

Currently, only about 3% of the world's oceans are under some form of protection.
Ensuring their protection will preserve cultural and natural heritage, sustain economies, and enhance our planetary health.

Join us in urging world leaders, policymakers, and communities to take immediate and effective actions to secure the protection of one-third of our seas by 2030.
