The article highlights the critical role of the ocean in supporting life on Earth while underscoring urgent environmental challenges such as declining fish populations, pollution, and coral reef loss. Two advocates, with backgrounds in environmental advisory and technology, emphasize the necessity for global collaboration at the upcoming UN Ocean Conference to address these issues. They advocate for focused efforts to restore coral reefs, essential ecosystems that support vast marine life and economically important fisheries and tourism, but which are currently threatened by climate change and pollution.
The ocean is sounding an unmistakable alarm as fishing boats return emptier and coastal zones grow more polluted and warmer.
We call for a global effort to restore coral-reef health as vital ecosystems are disappearing at an unprecedented speed.
