Ocean Conservation | Vibepedia

Ocean conservation, also known as marine conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas through planned management. This discipline has developed in response to biological issues such as extinction and marine habitats change, with a focus on limiting human-caused damage to marine ecosystems, restoring damaged ecosystems, and preserving vulnerable species. With the ocean covering over 70% of the Earth's surface and providing half of the planet's oxygen, conservation efforts are crucial to maintain the health of our planet. As noted by Sylvia Earle, a renowned marine biologist, 'the ocean is a central component of the Earth's system, and its conservation is essential for the future of our planet'.
