About Ocean Innovators
The Ocean Innovators channel aims to connect and empower social and technological innovators around the world acting to support ocean-related United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Why saving our Oceans?
According to the United Nations, the world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind.
Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea.
Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future. However, at the current time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters owing to pollution and ocean acidification is having an adversarial effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity.
