Overfishing, pollution and climate change are taking an extraordinary toll on the global ocean, threatening marine life, fishing communities and essential natural resources.

The Blue Nature Alliance is an ambitious new global partnership that aims to safeguard global ocean biodiversity, build resilience to climate change, promote human well-being, and enhance ecosystem connectivity and function.

They seek to catalyze unprecedented scales of conservation through new conservation areas, expanding and improving the management of existing ones, while supporting the science, communities of practice, and innovations needed to achieve the global target of protecting 30% of the ocean.
