Our environmental sustainability vision and mission
Programme AquaViva aims to promote awareness and drive action for ocean biodiversity conservation, creating a vibrant future for marine life through digital innovation, science, AI technology, and human connection.
The importance of our oceans
Only 8% of the ocean is currently protected, far short of the global goal to safeguard 30% by 2030. Achieving this goal demands urgent action to turn the tide and ensure a sustainable future for our oceans.
30% of carbon created by human activity is absorbed by the oceans
90% of emissions heat is absorbed by the ocean
44% of the world's population lives within 150 kilometers of an ocean
3 out of 7 people in the world depend on seafood as their main source of protein

Whale shark conservation
Whale sharks play a vital role in marine ecosystems, maintaining balance by feeding on plankton and supporting biodiversity. However, they face serious threats, including habitat loss, overfishing, pollution, and boat strikes.
With slow reproduction rates, these gentle giants are highly vulnerable, making their protection essential for sustaining ocean health and the resilience of ecosystems that benefit both nature and humanity.
