ocean preservation
Protecting the seas
Ocean preservation refers to efforts aimed at protecting and maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, including their biodiversity, water quality, and natural processes.
This encompasses a range of activities from establishing marine protected areas and regulating fishing practices to reducing pollution and addressing climate change impacts on seas.
Ocean preservation has become a priority for coastal nations facing coral reef decline.
The term often appears alongside related concepts like conservation and sustainability in environmental policy discussions.
