Oceans: Life Under Water

Oceans: Life Under Water is a podcast that explores our blue planet's breathtaking beauty, extraordinary creatures and the dangers that threaten them.

You have most likely landed on this page because, like us, you care about protecting our vast and magnificent oceans. Oceans cover 70% of our planet, are our best defence against climate change, and are essential to all life on Earth – but currently they’re in crisis. Explore this page to find out how you can help our oceans thrive again.

Currently only 1% of our oceans are protected. But governments could create a network of ocean sanctuaries that put 30% off limits to overfishing, oil drilling and plastic pollution – a huge environmental win! Will you tell the government to sign the Global Oceans Treaty into law and support a full ban on deep sea mining?
