Excerpt

Ocean is a continuous body of salt water and our planet’s largest ecosystem. It stabilizes the climate, stores carbon, nurtures marine biodiversity and directly supports human well-being through food and energy resources, as well as providing cultural and recreational services. To protect the ocean means sharing our knowledge to save it and give the future generation a sustainable world. The oceans are now seriously degrading and actions can only be effective if based on sound knowledge informed by science.
