António Guterres Instagram – I had the privilege of growing up near the ocean.
It pains me to see how our ocean is now in trouble.
Record sea temperatures are sparking extreme weather events that affect us all. Ocean acidification is destroying coral reefs, breaking a vital link in food chains and threatening tourism and local economies. And unsustainable coastal development, overfishing, deep-sea mining, unchecked pollution and plastic waste are wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems.
Now is the time for governments, businesses, investors, scientists and communities to come together to #SaveOurOcean.
On World Oceans Day, let’s awaken new depths of action for our ocean.
