COASTAL SEAS
Our coastal seas are a rich community of plants and animals working together, all of which are vital to the health of our planet and humanity. Coastal seas count for 7% of our ocean, yet they are responsible for 95% of the world's marine production - these are our planet's fishing grounds. Despite their importance to humanity, few are protected. Yet wherever effective protection exists, life bounces back in abundance.
