Degradation, pollution, overexploitation… the ocean is under threat from all sides. The Muséum is sounding the alarm in its latest manifesto dedicated to this urgent issue. On December 7, join the discussion with scientists to explore the challenges of sharing and protecting our oceans.
Through its new manifesto, « A Shared Ocean », the Muséum brings together a panel of experts offering insights aimed at raising public awareness.
The statistics are alarming: fish consumption has doubled in 50 years, nearly 80% of global trade is conducted via maritime routes, the seas are crisscrossed by communication cables, and plastic waste along with other chemical pollutants are inundating marine ecosystems. Climate change only exacerbates the situation. The Muséum’s manifesto serves as a call to action, urging citizens and policymakers to act before it’s too late.
