This session explores positive actions for reversing the degradation of the oceans, going from ridge to reef. What is personal is now political. Protecting the apex species of the ocean and coastal areas saves the socio-economics of the entire world. Interconnections abound between the marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Conservation action is urgently required to save life at sea.
