Two years ago, the UN during a global gathering, declared an “Ocean Emergency”, warning the World must turn the tide.
Global heating is pushing ocean temperatures to record levels, creating fiercer and more frequent storms. Sea levels are rising. Low-lying island nations face inundation, as do many major coastal cities in the world.

The climate crisis is also making the ocean more acidic, which is disrupting the marine food chain.
The marine sector provides sustenance for more than one billion people and industries relating to the ocean employ some 40 million people.
However, pollution from land is creating vast coastal dead zones.

Nearly 80 per cent of wastewater is discharged into the sea without treatment and some 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans every year.

In this edition, Abdullahi Hassan discusses the challenges of protecting marine resources.
