Protecting the Ocean for a Sustainable Planet
The year 2023 will be remembered not only as one of the most critical years for the climate crisis but also as the year when United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres declared a state of emergency for the health of the ocean. The iconic cover of Time Magazine, which featured a special issue dedicated to the ocean titled “The Most Important Place on Earth,” serves as a stark reminder that safeguarding this resource is an absolute necessity.
