United Nations (UN)\u00a0Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/a> marked the World Oceans Day with a call for greater action to protect oceans<\/a>, stressing that “We should be the ocean\u2019s best friend. But right now, humanity is its worst enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ocean is the foundation of life. It supplies the air we breathe and food we eat. It regulates our climate and weather. The ocean is our planet\u2019s\u00a0greatest reservoir of biodiversity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Over a third of global fish stocks are being harvested at unsustainable levels \u2013 just one example of how human activity is harming oceans, which cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

The UN chief said human-induced climate change is heating the planet, disrupting weather patterns and ocean currents, and altering marine ecosystems and the species living there.<\/p>\n

Marine biodiversity is also under attack from overfishing, over-exploitation and ocean acidification, fish stocks are being depleted, and coastal waters have been polluted with chemicals, plastics and human wastes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this year\u2019s World Oceans Day reminds us that\u00a0the tides are changing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Guterres recalled that last December, countries adopted an ambitious global target to conserve and manage 30 per cent of land, and marine and coastal areas, by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

The past year also saw a landmark agreement on fisheries subsidies, and the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, where the world agreed to push for more positive action.<\/p>\n

Negotiations for a global, legally binding treaty to end plastic\u00a0pollutions\u00a0are currently underway, and in March, countries\u00a0agreed the\u00a0historic High Seas Treaty on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cRealizing the great promise of these initiatives\u00a0requires collective commitment,\u201d Guterres said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis World Oceans Day let\u2019s keep pushing for action. Today and every day, let\u2019s put the ocean first.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
