The oceans cover more than 70 % of the Earth\u2019s surface and are home to exceptional biodiversity. Yet they are now under threat from plastic pollution, overfishing and global warming. Aware of these challenges, Our Oceans<\/strong> is committed to raising awareness, informing and mobilising everyone around the protection of this vital ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oceans play an essential role in global climate balance. They absorb a large proportion of the CO\u2082 produced by humans and generate more than half of the oxygen we breathe. Furthermore, millions of people depend on the sea for their food and income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, plastic pollution severely threatens marine wildlife. Turtles, birds and fish ingest tonnes of waste every year. Overfishing weakens ecosystems and leads to the gradual disappearance of certain species. Finally, rising water temperatures cause coral bleaching, further reducing biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mission of Our Oceans<\/strong> is to make information on marine issues accessible to everyone and to inspire collective action. The website highlights articles, news and educational resources to better understand the situation and identify practical solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protecting the oceans does not always require massive resources. Everyone can take action by reducing their plastic consumption, choosing reusable products or supporting responsible brands. Education and awareness are also essential for passing on the importance of preserving the blue planet to future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy protecting our oceans is a priority?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
