Our oceans cover 75% of the earth's surface, feed more than 3.5 billion people and are the only true net sink for greenhouse gases in 200 years.
Despite this, we are killing them! 80% of commercial fish stocks are now fished beyond their sustainable limits and sea temperatures and levels continue to rise as a result of global warming.
As scuba divers, snorkellers and citizen scientists, we can help protect our earth's most important asset. Tell us what you see! |
