Marine Life Abundance - Ocean Central

Measure

Marine Life Abundance

The return of vibrant marine life is one of the clearest signs of ocean recovery. Marine species provide food, support communities, and regulate the climate. But they face growing pressure from pollution, habitat loss, overfishing, and climate change. We track abundance from pre-industrial levels to today, with projections to 2050. Our goal: restore at least 70% of historic abundance. Explore the action wedges driving this recovery.

Coming Soon.
