BAN CALLS FOR CONCERTED GLOBAL ACTION TO SAVE WORLD'S OCEANS FROM
POLLUTION, ACIDIFICATION
New York, Apr 11 2013 11:00AM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called on world leaders to take
stronger action to protect the planet's seas, warning that pollution,
unsustainable exploitation, climate change and acidification threaten
the very foundations of all life and the global economy.

"We need practical, timely action at the national, regional and
global levels to improve the health of the oceans, and to recover and
sustain ocean resources," he told
'<em><"http://www.hautemer2013.lecese.fr/">The High Seas, Our Future!
Conference</em>' in a message read out in Paris by United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(<"http://www.unesco.org/new/en/natural-sciences/ioc-oceans/">UNESCO)
Director-General Irina Bokova.

"It is time to take stronger, more pragmatic and more concerted
effort to protect our oceans," he said, stressing that oceans are
heating up and their acidification is adversely affecting on marine
life, while rising sea levels threaten to re-draw the global map at
the expense of hundreds of millions of people, often the most
vulnerable.

He highlighted the critical role oceans play "for the health of our
planet, for all life, and for the global economy."

Mr. Ban said he vividly remembered his meeting last year in New York
with the crew of the UN-backed Tara Expedition, which travelled
70,000 miles across the Atlantic, Pacific, Antarctic and Indian
oceans investigating the effects of global warming on biodiversity
and marine life, particularly focusing on marine plankton.

"The Tara team and other civil society organizations are critical to
raising global awareness of the importance of oceans and the
challenges they face," he concluded.  "If we work together - the
United Nations system, governments and businesses, civil society
actors and individuals - we can find sustainable ways to support life
and protect our planet and our precious oceans."
