Our ocean defines our planet. It sustains us… and it is home to more than half of all life on earth today. Yet for too long, we have taken the ocean for granted. Our actions have pushed species to the brink… And impacted every ocean habitat… no matter how remote… or how deep. We haven’t understood what the ocean does for us. The effects of climate change have been softened by the ocean. But now we are facing the consequences: the seas are warming… rising… and becoming more acidic. It’s a sobering thought, that coral reefs may be lost within the next century.

我們的海洋定義了我們的星球。 它支撐著我們……它是當今地球上一半以上生命的家園。 然而，長期以來，我們一直認為海洋為我們提供的資源和服務是理所當然的。 我們的行動將海洋物種推向了滅絕邊境……並影響了每一個海洋棲息地……無論多麼遙遠……或多深。 我們還不明白海洋為我們做了什麼。 海洋減弱了氣候變化的影響。 但現在我們正面臨著後果：海洋正在變暖……上升……並且變得更加酸化。 這是一個發人深省的想法，珊瑚礁可能會在下個世紀消失。
