Vital efforts to safeguard the global ocean for future generations will be supported by new funding from Arcadia -a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. This new grant will allow experts to continue highlighting the science needed for conservation at international negotiations, such as United Nations Ocean Conferences and meetings that design rules for future deep seabed management.
While the deep ocean can feel distant from everyday life, the benefits it provides could not be more important. Making up more than 90 percent of the ocean, the deep stabilizes Earth’s climate, supports major fisheries, and provides critical habitat for wildlife.
