Caring for the ocean starts by taking the right steps on land<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After its first edition in 2021, this summer the Ocean Conservation project developed by DAN Europe is back on the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is everything you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why CO2 matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Climate change is not the only consequence of excess CO2 emissions. Marine ecosystems are also severely affected, and not only by rising temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ocean has the capacity to absorb CO2 from the environment. When excess CO2 dissolves in seawater, it causes an acidity increase. This is known as Ocean Acidification<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This phenomenon, coupled with other human factors, is impacting many ocean species, especially organisms like oysters and corals. We must drastically reduce our CO2 emissions if we want to maintain a healthy ocean and a planet fit for our survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
