Ocean Threats
Our oceans are under threat from a range of activities, including overfishing, oil and gas drilling, mining, and other industrial processes. Such activities not only endanger marine life, but they can also disrupt the balance of ocean ecosystems and cause long-term damage to the environment. It is up to us to take action now in order to protect our oceans and ensure that they remain healthy and productive for future generations.
What we are doing
To keep marine life safe and healthy, we need stronger laws and regulations in place to protect our oceans. Such measures could include increased monitoring of fishing practices, tighter restrictions on oil and gas drilling, better enforcement against illegal mining activities, and limits on industrial processes that may contaminate the water. With effective policies in place, we can help ensure that marine life will remain healthy and abundant for generations to come.
