The Ocean is increasingly being threatened, degraded or destroyed by human activities.

To turn the tide, we ask the world’s governments to adopt, at the UN Ocean Conference 2025, six steps – as specified in the OceanCare declaration “Because Our Planet Is Blue” – to be implemented immediately at global, regional and national levels:

1. Ban offshore oil and gas exploration and phase out existing fossil fuel extraction;

2. Implement mandatory measures to reduce vessel speed;

3. Ban destructive fisheries such as bottom trawling;

4. Adopt global rules to end plastic pollution, addressing the full life cycle of plastic; 5. Agree on a global moratorium on deep-sea mining;

6. Ensure effective protection of marine habitats and enforce marine conservation measures to restore ecosystems damaged by human activities.
