Dear sea, I wish you had more considered neighbours, who would think about your needs and respect you and your inhabitants. Hopefully we will grow into better neighbours for you!
Your voice
These words come from people who live with, work by or care about the sea. Together, they form a shared space for reflection, learning and dialogue. You are invited to add your own word or short reflection and become part of this collective voice.
A good practice for protecting the sea is developing a deposit system for less plastic in the oceans.
What worries me most about the sea is getting warmer with less vegetation. / That it could run out of fish. / That people forget to love it!
I believe the sea can be protected if everyone can work together and put aside their differences. They need to find a solution to bring together their different interests.
I believe the sea can be protected if we all realize that we can do something. Every small step counts. Finding courage through the love for our nature is a key part.
I feel responsible for the sea because all life in our world started in the sea. Some creatures are millions of years old. We should save them.
I help the sea by teaching children the ecological functions of the sea and the consequences of human kind.
A good practice for protecting the sea is taking only memories and leaving nothing but gentle footprints.
My favourite thing about the sea is... Swimming. / Shells and walruses! / That there are many animals in the sea.
The sea will suffer if we continue to ignore our responsibility to protect it! / Overfish, pollute and continue to destroy reefs. / Make more plastic.
A good practice for protecting the sea is to take your garbage with you from the beach.
The sea is happy when we stop using plastic so that we can enjoy the sea - for ourselves and our children.
The sea is trying to tell us: Be careful with me.
