De petites actions en amont peuvent faire une grande différence en aval.

Commencez petit. Pensez circulaire. Agissez pour l’océan.

Working together across research, community, and industry helps us understand how daily actions influence ocean health.
♲ Small actions upstream can make a big difference downstream.
 Start small. Think circular. Act for the ocean.

Pour l’océan, cela signifie approfondir nos connaissances, donner de la valeur à l’océan dans notre quotidien et agir pour protéger son avenir. Parce qu’un océan en santé signifie des communautés et des personnes en santé.

Le décès de Jane Goodall est une perte ressentie profondément à travers la communauté environnementale. Elle nous a montré que le changement durable commence par la connaissance et grandit à travers une multitude de petites actions.

For the ocean, this means deepening our knowledge, building value for the ocean in our daily lives, and taking action to safeguard its future. Because a healthy ocean means healthy communities and healthy people.

La connaissance de l’océan est le résultat d’efforts collectifs pour aider les gens à comprendre, valoriser et prendre soin de l’océan.

Elle n’est pas la tâche d’un seul groupe—elle nous appartient à toutes et à tous.

Ocean literacy is the outcome of many efforts to help people understand, value, and care for the ocean.
It’s not the job of one group—it belongs to all of us.
