The ocean is groaning under pressure: coral reefs are reaching a tipping point
For anyone who wants to learn more about the environment and sustainable entrepreneurship, Ecotips provides daily news and analysis. Through an interview with Go Ocean Sea-EO, Marte Greefs, Ecotips explains how the ocean is groaning under human pressure.
The ocean is suffering from climate change and is crying out for help. The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ Treaty) is an important step in protecting our international waters.
Fossil fuels are one of the main culprits in climate change, with disastrous consequences: extreme weather events, rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. The consequences are felt not only on land, but also at sea.
“The ocean covers 70 percent of our Earth’s surface and helps make our planet livable,” begins Marte Greefs, CEO of Go Ocean. The ocean is also suffering from climate change. Rising water temperatures and disrupted ecosystems are just a few examples. The ocean is under pressure and needs us, just as we need it.
