The World Ocean Day action for July is officially out!
As a citizen of the world, you can help protect the largest habitat on Earth - the deep sea!
For a long time, we believed the ocean was so huge and full of life that nothing we did could harm it and its abundance. We thought that pollution would simply dilute away. However, current corporate plans could cause severe disruption and pollution, and we urgently need to understand our deep-sea ecosystems and their importance to our planet, its people, and the atmosphere.
Take action this July for our 12 Months of Action and click our link in bio.
Special shout-outs to our action partners for this month: @deep_sea_conserve & @soalliance#DefendtheDeep#oceanclimateaction
