40 Facts You Need To Read - Caring For Our Oceans

With so much to look forward to on a trip to the ocean, it’s understandable that few of us really think about the impact we’re having on the world’s oceans while we’re on holiday. And although these concerns shouldn’t get in the way of a much-deserved break, it would be irresponsible to overlook them altogether.

71% of the Earth is made up of water. Of that number, 97% is found in our oceans. Those figures alone speak volumes to the importance of practising greener, ethical practices in coastal areas. With so much of our global ecosystem driven by the blue economy (which is defined as ‘the sustainable use of ocean resources to benefit economies, livelihoods and ocean ecosystem health’), it’s in the interest of everyone to think about how they conduct themselves on holiday.
