Protect Ocean Ecosystems and Wildlife
The ocean supports a remarkable abundance and diversity of life.
From the tiniest plankton to the largest whale, life in the ocean forms complex food webs, feeds our families, and helps control global climate. Yet through our activities, we are putting ocean life at risk. Today, we are leveraging ocean science and technology to develop solutions that protect wildlife and restore ecosystems, helping to sustain our living ocean now and for the future.
