The UN has warned of a deepening ocean crisis and urged urgent action, citing the third World Ocean Assessment that shows the ocean faces severe, accelerating anthropogenic pressure and widespread biodiversity loss. Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres stressed that the ocean can no longer be treated as limitless. The findings call for swift, global efforts to mitigate these pressures.
We cannot keep treating the ocean as limitless. We must build a new relationship with the ocean: grounded in science, framed by international law and built on shared responsibility – across nations, sectors and generations – to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
The third World Ocean Assessment, launched today, documents a deepening crisis driven by climate change, overfishing, biodiversity loss and marine pollution.
The imperative for a healthy and resilient ocean has never been more urgent. Global collaborations and research and our increased understanding of the ocean provide essential insights into the state of marine ecosystems, the profound changes they are undergoing and the need for our care.
