As climate change heats up our planet’s remarkable ocean and the teeming life in its waters is incredibly stressed and dies off, we must witness what we’re losing. There are entire universes of life below the blue-gray surface that we see when we look out at our ocean. They are dying rapidly.

Our oceans are in severe crisis, caused by the climate emergency. There is still time to slow and halt the warming. Every degree of warming that we can prevent matters. And every action that every person takes can help.

THE most important thing you can do about climate change? Talk about it.

As noted climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe says, “The number one thing we can do is the exact thing that we are not doing: talk about it.”

So – talk about climate change. And the ocean crisis it’s creating.

Every day. Everywhere.

Watch Katherine’s TED talk about it here.

There’s still time to slow climate change.

There is hope.

For our remarkable global ocean, which is the ultimate life force of our planet.
