Summary
The ocean is inextricably linked to human survival but has been largely overshadowed in the climate change debate – receiving less than one percent of all philanthropic funding. At this year's UN Ocean Conference, Bloomberg Philanthropies will announce several historic investments in ocean conservation -- from creating, expanding, and managing marine protected areas, to innovative solutions to improve the resilience of coral reefs and scaling-up transparency to reduce illegal activity at sea.
