Expédition 7e Continent

90% of plastics present in sea come from our continents ... no ocean is preserved by the massive presence of plastic (8 to 10 million tons per year discharged several hundred million tonnes identified as the surface of an ocean) ... these plastic carry endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and other pollutants, and biodiversity are all traps for fish, marine mammals and birds that ingest them.
While France is hosting the conference on climate ParisClimat2015, generating national and international commitment to the environment, it is time to UNDERSTAND, EXPLAIN and ACT.
Expedition 7th Continent, works for an ocean preserved combining scientific knowledge, educational, media, structured around a shared commitment by action,
2 Expeditions are planned this year : May 15 to June 15, 2015 in the North Atlantic and in December 2015 / January 2016 South Atlantic.

Ending Overfishing

Despite an increased awareness of overfishing, the majority of people still know very little about the scale of the destruction being wrought on the oceans. Ocean2012

World's oceans in 'shocking' decline

The oceans are in a worse state than previously suspected, according to an expert panel of scientists.

In a new report, they warn that ocean life is "at high risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history".

They conclude that issues such as over-fishing, pollution and climate change are acting together in ways that have not previously been recognised. The impacts, they say, are already affecting humanity.

The panel was convened by the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO), and brought together experts from different disciplines, including coral reef ecologists, toxicologists, and fisheries scientists.
