Imagine a future where parts of the sea are safe zones, with no destructive fishing, no harm, just space for marine life to rest, recover, and thrive 🌊💙
And it is possible — because the Global Ocean Treaty will soon be coming into force, giving governments the power to make this future real.
Tell your government to use the Treaty to #ProtectTheOceans
The combination of the climate crisis and overfishing is having a devastating effect on marine biodiversity not just in South Africa, but across the globe.
The global climate and oceans are highly interconnected. Healthy, diverse ocean ecosystems build resilience to climate impacts, and also play an important role in restoring biodiversity and providing climate benefits.
