Artisanal fishing communities in Abandze, Ghana, face declining living standards and revenues due to sea pollution, climate change, and resource competition.

The Africa Center of Excellence on Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) at the University of Cape Coast addresses this by training scientists to educate communities, shape policies, and manage coastal resources. This initiative aims to spur economic growth, reduce poverty, and adapt to climate change. Learn more.

Enric Sala, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. This initiative explores and inspires protection for the ocean's last wild places, crucial for global marine ecosystems. Sala, a former professor, leads a team of scientists and conservationists dedicated to this mission.

Pristine Seas combines exploration, research, and media, helping establish 25 of the world's largest marine reserves. These protected areas now cover over 6.5 million square kilometers. Sala emphasizes the critical importance of healthy oceans for humanity's future. This talk was delivered at the 2022 Bioneers Conference. Learn more at http://www.bioneers.org.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

The Ocean Conservancy underscores the ocean's fundamental role in planetary health. It sustains us daily with food, water, and air, connecting all living things. Recognizing this vital link, the organization advocates that true environmentalism—"going green"—begins with "living blue."

It's time to initiate a significant "sea change" in our approach to global well-being.
