‘Severe’ stress on oceans as rate of sea level rise doubles in 10 years, UN warns
Global effort needed to limit effects of pollution, industrial fishing and climate crisis, World Ocean Assessment says
The world’s oceans are under “severe and accelerating” pressure from human activities, with the rate of sea-level rise double that of a decade ago, according to a damning assessment from the United Nations.
The “intensifying” stressors, which include pollution and large-scale industrial fishing, are cumulative, said the report, resulting in widespread biodiversity loss and putting ocean systems under “severe strain”. Continue reading...

The third World Ocean Assessment — produced by 600 experts from 86 countries — is the most comprehensive evidence base we have on ocean health. Fifty-seven treaties. One ocean. The science is robust. Can governance finally catch up?

Ocean benefits increasingly undermined by human activity, UN assessment reveals
Greater understanding of the ocean is essential if the world is to recover better from the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve agreed targets on sustainable development and climate action, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said on Wednesday in launching a major study on what he called “the life support system of our planet.”

[#MOW2021] The #WorldOceanAssessment provides scientific basis for action and could move towards further policy relevance. According to @LlevinAnn @Scripps_Ocean, WOA becoming Phase 1️⃣ of the IPOC could support the policy uptake of #oceanscience !🌊

Today is # WorldOceanDay, and the UN has released the 3rd #WorldOceanAssessment, its most comprehensive review yet of ocean health.
Produced every 5 years by hundreds of scientists, it gives governments and policymakers the evidence they need to act. We hope it spurs urgent action #WOAIII #OurOcean

Humanity’s future depends on protecting the rapidly changing ocean
The ocean covers more than 70 per cent of the planet and regulates climate, sustains biodiversity, and supports economies and cultures worldwide. It’s the foundation of life on Earth.
