#DYK nearly 75% of major marine fish stocks have been depleted/overexploited & 50% of live coral cover on reefs destroyed?
Let’s restore our ocean's vitality & ensure a more sustainable future.
RT by @EU_ENV: The ocean generates oxygen, puts food on our table, sustains our economy, absorbs excess carbon emissions & is our greatest ally in #ClimateChange mitigation. But only 3 per cent of the ocean is described as free from human pressure.
