Ocean Stewardship

Ocean stewardship is the responsible use and protection of the seas to ensure their health and sustainability for future generations. It means recognizing the ocean as a shared resource that supports life on Earth—from regulating climate and producing oxygen to providing food and livelihoods for billions. True stewardship involves reducing pollution, protecting marine habitats, supporting sustainable fishing practices, and engaging local communities in conservation efforts. It’s a call to action, not just for scientists or governments, but for every individual whose daily choices ripple into the waters that connect us all.
