US EditionWorld Oceans Day Reminds Us Why the Sea Still Needs Saving
- Each year, the United Nations leads the observance of World Oceans Day to emphasize the ocean’s vital importance in regulating the climate, providing food, and supporting life across the globe.
- The ocean faces mounting threats including pollution, warming, acidification, and habitat loss that collectively endanger biodiversity and ecosystem stability.
- Oceans cover over 70% of Earth, generate more than half the oxygen, absorb over 90% of excess heat, and support over 3 billion people through marine ecosystems.
- Scientists report that between 2003 and 2022, 21 percent of the ocean surface darkened, shrinking the photic zone essential for marine life, causing Dr. Thomas Davies to call it a “genuine cause for concern.”
- Without intervention, these changes risk further ocean instability and biodiversity loss, underscoring the need for combined policy, science, public engagement, and individual action.
