The dire consequences of the climate crisis are on full display in our world’s oceans. Rising temperatures, ocean acidification, and de-oxygenation are causing dramatic changes in our marine ecosystems. The impacts of these changes are as wide-ranging as they are alarming, from coral bleaching to more intense tropical storms and the loss of sea life and habitat.

The speed at which changes are taking place is perhaps the most concerning of all. We need rapid action to bring CO2 emissions to zero by mid-century if we are to save our oceans and thus ourselves.
