The ocean is crucial for the entire climate system and planetary health.
It has consumed 25% of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and occupied 90% of the additional heat generated from greenhouse gas emissions, but it is now warming and acidifying which is not good for the environment.
The entire community must act urgently t eradicate or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prevent biodiversity loss, rebuild and protect coastal and marine ecosystems.
Also reduce pollution and take a necessary approach to economic activity on the ocean floor.
