The annual Earth Day event is back and we’re celebrating along with 1 billion citizens and various organisations worldwide.

From our emerald estuaries to our turquoise bays, our global waters hold many surprises that will leave you wading for more.

This year’s theme is “Invest in our Planet”, and we’re taking a deep dive into some of our most overlooked earthly wonders, many of which you would have encountered on your travels and not thought twice about.

According to the World Bank Group, climate-related investments reached a stunning $31.7 billion in the fiscal year of 2022; that’s a 19% increase from the $26.6 billion record reached in the previous year. So, for those of us stood in murky waters, let’s unearth what we are, as well as what we should be, investing in.

2023 Sea our Love of History

Swap the sunnies for snorkels.

Let’s dive under the waves to find out just exactly how essential our global waters are to our planet’s survival.

In March 2023, the UN reached a historic agreement, declaring their support for protecting marine biodiversity in international waters. This action has been widely celebrated from all corners of the globe, but what does this really mean?

Following COP26 in Glasgow, a new series of Ocean Dialogues were mandated, bringing ocean protection to the forefront of fighting Climate Change.

A significant report delivered by the UN Climate Change Secretariat recognised that Climate Change is actively disproportionally affecting coastline communities; this means the impacts are affecting livelihoods, home-security, food sources as well as overall well-being and communal health.

Our sea-life ecosystems too are enduring severe impacts from our industrial choices. With our ocean waters warming, acidification and deoxygenation increasing; flora and fauna are experiencing unsustainable conditions, and all in addition to rising sea levels.

Come on a journey with us to discover a whole new world, learn more about our under-water wonders and what surprises our coastal regions hold. We guarantee you’ll sea your next beach trip in a whole new light.

For what it’s Earth

Our Blue Gold…

This all sounds all very alarming, however our coastal regions and deep-sea waters are unique worlds that hold many wonders; they are full of secrets and are vital to our planet’s life support.

They have so much to give and if properly cared for and utilised effectively, every one of us could benefit from the ocean’s offerings. From our underwater rainforests to our global power struggles, living in harmony with our world’s oceans means that many of our day-to-day insecurities could be solved if we accurately invested.

Oceans have the vast potential to store carbon as well as produce oxygen. They are prime locations for renewable energy, our greatest solution to storm surges, and a key source for food and thriving ecosystems.

Join the Blue Gold revolution and let’s learn more about our plant life, energy resolutions and economic saviours.
