FACTS ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR OCEANS
90% of global trade volume and 40% of trade value depends on the oceans
7th largest economy in GDP terms
$2.5 trillion in annual economic output generated by ocean related economic activity
8 million – the number of tons of plastic dumped in the ocean every year
2050 – the year by which we will have more plastic than fish in the ocean
90% - the percentage of marine fish stocks that are fully exploited
500 – the number of dead zones created by agricultural runoff (the size of the UK)
2050 – the year by which 1 billion people will be displaced by sea level rise
½ - of the Great Barrier Reef has died since 2016
90% - current decline in coral growth
1 in every 6 jobs in the US is marine-related
