It's a New Year for the Ocean

The ocean has never been more in crisis, and never before has the health of the ocean been more essential to our survival. We enter the new year with a host of climate crises that demand our attention now. The list is long and the threats loom large. We find a remarkable amount of resilience and resolve within a community of concerned Citizens of the Ocean, in the number of people around the world who are more mindful than ever of the importance of embracing the concepts of ocean literacy, of sharing their knowledge and taking action for a healthy ocean. Thanks for being with us.
