Every generation inherits a different ocean, each one a little more diminished, unless we remember what once was and act to revive it. What will we pass on?

Our Sea in a Lifetime, Episode 1 featuring Enric Sala, Director of National Geographic’s Pristine Seas.

Every generation inherits a different ocean—each one a little more diminished, unless we remember what once was and act to revive it.

Revive Our Ocean is kicking off Our Sea in a Lifetime, a new series that looks at stories of our ocean then, now, and what could be if we protect it.

Protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030 is a global target. But it will only be met through bridging local action with national ambition.

One year into Revive Our Ocean, a global community of practice is rewriting the playbook for coastal marine protection.

As business, policy, and finance leaders convene for this year’s World Ocean Summit, we need to move beyond platitudes to  urgent action and measure results in the water. If we are serious about building a resilient ocean economy, we must recognize a simple truth: nature is our best business partner.

The world agreed in 2022 to protect at least 30% of land and ocean by 2030 (30×30). By achieving 30×30 we rechart humanity’s course. Protecting coastal waters is critical.
