🐳 Pristine Seas, 2021 Earthshot Prize Finalist, is a mission led by Enric Sala to defend our ocean.

🐳 Their impact speaks for itself:

- 47 epic expeditions

- 29 marine reserves created

- 6.9 million km² protected (over twice the size of India!)

This isn’t talk, it’s real change.

🐳 In 2023, Pristine Seas launched a five-year Global Expedition across the tropical Pacific, partnering with Pacific Island nations to protect the world’s richest marine life.

🐳 In 2024, they found a coral colony the size of a blue whale that was 300+ years old in the Solomon Islands.

It’s proof that our ocean can still surprise us with wonders.

🐳 Since 2008, Pristine Seas has been working to protect 30% of the ocean, and creating hope for marine life and coastal communities worldwide.

Excerpt from this story from The Revelator:

As rising sea levels and climate change-induced storms batter coastlines the world over, one threat often flies under the radar: sewage pollution.

Today many tropical coastal communities on the frontlines of climate change find themselves battling not just erosion and flooding, but also crumbling sanitation systems. Sea-level rise and storm surges, especially in rural and low-resource areas, bring saltwater pouring into inland spaces, where it corrodes pipes, damages pit latrines, and floods freshwater aquifers with sewage-laden salty water.

More frequent and severe storms flood pit latrines and septic tanks and overwhelm treatment plants with stormwater, causing uncontrolled discharge. As these systems fail, overflowing waste contaminates groundwater, soil, and water bodies, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases, exacerbating existing inequalities, and creating unsafe conditions for sanitation workers.

As we’ve seen in our work studying coastal pollution, the damage to sanitation systems is not just a human health issue (though that’s bad enough). It has profound environmental consequences. Sewage carries pathogens and high concentrations of nutrients and organic matter that cause coral disease and mortality, generate algae blooms that smother seagrass meadows, weaken the root systems of mangroves, and kill fish.

The waste also increases the vulnerability of coastal ecosystems to climate change. For instance, sewage makes corals more sensitive to marine heatwaves. The weakened mangrove forests are more susceptible to erosion from sea-level rise and are less able to store carbon. Nutrients and higher temperatures combined amplify algae blooms.

Degradation of coastal ecosystems, meanwhile, creates a vicious cycle in which damaged sanitation systems lead to more pollution that further harms ecosystems, making them less resilient to climate impacts and less able to protect coastal communities — and results in yet more damage to sanitation systems.

Ocean Acidification Danger Zone: Threats to Marine Life & Coastal Survival

Introduction: Our Oceans Are Reaching a Tipping Point In a groundbreaking 2025 study published in Global Change Biology, scientists have issued a dire warning: the world’s oceans may have crossed a dangerous threshold for ocean acidification as early as 2020. This chemical shift is driven by massive CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels, posing a threat to marine ecosystems and coastal economies. The…
