The Bigger Picture: Conservation Implications of Ocean Migrations
As part of the Conservation Summit 2025, this presentation explores the critical role of ocean migrations in sustaining marine ecosystems and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Ocean migrations not only prove to be some of the most impressive and longest on the planet, but they may be the most important. In a time when the world is heating and environments are degrading, marine species migrations may be the most vital ally in our fight to ameliorate the effects of climate change, from shoring up our coastlines to fertilizing our oceans.
Ocean conservation not only improves the lives of the species living below the ocean’s surface but also the lives of our own.
