Healthy oceans benefit the planet, people, prosperity, and peace, and are critical to sustaining life on the planet. Oceans produce 50% of the world’s oxygen and regulate the climate by absorbing excess heat and 30% of CO2 emissions. Over 3 billion people rely on seafood for their primary source of protein and livelihoods. The ocean economy is worth $24 trillion dollars and supports hundreds of millions of jobs.
For the Planet
WWF works to halt declines, recover and protect ecosystems and marine resources across the US Arctic, Eastern Pacific, Southwest Indian Ocean, and Southwest Pacific and Indonesia.
For People
WWF makes blue food systems more resilient. Our work in fisheries and aquaculture advances livelihoods and food security for 100 million people, and protects marine ecosystem health. Our work with seafood markets engages global seafood buyers and their supply chains in responsible, sustainable sourcing.
For Prosperity
WWF protects billions in economic infrastructure through nature-based solutions, such as mangrove and reef restoration.
For Peace
As Arctic ice recedes, opening navigation and shipping routes, it is critical that WWF work to reduce conflict, crime and societal instability via effective marine natural resource management.
