Healthy Waters are a Way of Life
Oceans comprise 74 percent of Earth’s surface area and are fundamental to planetary health and human prosperity. However, the ocean and connected waterways—especially in the North—are undergoing massive, destabilizing pressures from climate change and industrial activities. Oceans North works to address the urgent need for integrated solutions that ensure the long-term health of ocean ecosystems and the communities that rely on them.
