Happy World Ocean Day! 🌎️🌊💙⁠

The ocean is the largest living space on our planet. It’s critical for all life⁠ on Earth, but it now faces a triple threat of climate change, pollution, and⁠ overfishing. MBARI researchers are answering fundamental questions⁠ about our changing ocean. Our research and data help inform ocean⁠ management and policy.

Studying our blue backyard has revealed our connection to the ocean—⁠how it sustains us and how our actions affect its future. MBARI scientists,⁠ engineers, communications staff, and marine operations crew are driven by⁠ a curiosity to learn more about the ocean and a passion to protect its future. Our ocean needs our help. All life—including us—depends on a healthy ocean.

🌊 World Ocean Day 🌊

Our oceans are the lungs of the Earth – giving us life, beauty, and balance.

Let’s come together to protect, preserve, and restore them.

Every drop counts. 💙

Just in time for World Ocean Day, we are unveiling the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary commemorative poster!

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is located along 276 miles of California's coast, stretching from seven miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge south to Cambria. The 6,094 square miles of sanctuary waters contain extensive kelp forests, underwater canyons, and an underwater mountain teeming with life Davidson Seamount. Known as the "Serengeti of the Sea," the sanctuary harbors incredible marine life, diverse habitats, and offer spectacular opportunities for diving, fishing, whale watching, and more. The sanctuary's seafloor contains a living museum with significant archaeological, historical, and cultural resources.

Take a look for yourself and download the poster today:

Today is World Oceans Day. After decades of pollutions by humans, the world’s oceans are on the tipping point for collapse with millions of tons of toxic microplastic particles. In just a few years, the volume of microplastic particles will exceed that of plankton, turning our oceans into a huge sea of plastic. This publication entitled “Plastic Ocean: Art and Science Responses to Marine Pollution” brings together numerous international art projects related to environmental activities and offers an interdisciplinary perspective across the arts and a wide range of disciplines, sounding the alarm about this ecological crisis.

10 Unheard Facts about Ocean Pollution that will make you think

All of us know that water bodies account for 71% of the natural equilibrium and constitute an important part of the natural cycle.

All of us know that water bodies account for 71% of the natural equilibrium and constitute an important part of the natural cycle. Thus, a significant amount of living species live inside the water, predominantly inside oceans. Unfortunately, human intervention has put these aquatic lives in jeopardy. It is predicted that plastics will outnumber marine life by 2050. This mass pollution from plastic, oil, fabrics, and industrial waste, is not only affecting marine life but also pushing marine species to extinction. Not only this, there are many unsettling facts about ocean pollution that are hard to digest.
