It’s important that we become more responsible and take more action to protect our oceans and its ecosystems.
A French ship dedicated to studying the seas, Tara Pacific Exhibition’s Head of International Policy, Andre Abreu, says they have discovered significant coral bleaching and are afraid that the degradation of our oceans is worsening.
“This is the time to make decisions and to act and to go beyond words. Beyond only saying that the ocean is important and we love the ocean. We need action and mandatory law to change the things we do to our oceans. So it can help us have a sustainable ocean.”
The 16 member crew of the Tara Pacific will hold a series of discussions on the impacts of climate change on marine and coastal ecosystems with various stakeholders and the University of the South Pacific.
