Blue Marine Life : The Silent Cry of the Oceans
🌊 Climate change and the rise in temperature by 2°C below the oceans have dramatic consequences on marine life. Coral reefs are bleaching, and phytoplankton, essential to the marine food chain, is declining. In 2020, 62% of the coral reefs surveyed in the French West Indies and the Indian Ocean were degraded.
🐋 Whale hunting, though largely prohibited, remains a persistent threat to these giants of the sea. Countries like Japan, Norway, and Iceland continue whale hunting under the guise of "scientific research" or by bypassing international moratoriums. This endangers already fragile species such as the blue whale, gray whale, and North Atlantic right whale, all classified as endangered or critically endangered. (wwf.fr)
🐟 The suffering of fish is often an overlooked aspect of marine exploitation. Fish have a complex nervous system and are capable of feeling pain, just like many other animals. They respond to painful stimuli, yet they are regularly subjected to cruel practices such as industrial fishing, where they are caught in giant nets, injured, and often left to slowly suffocate. Scientific studies have shown that fish experience stress and pain when captured, and these sufferings are often ignored by the fishing industry. Although their nervous system is different from humans, it is still capable of processing pain and stress, emphasizing the importance of respecting all forms of marine life.

🌊 Overfishing is another major threat to our oceans. In mainland France, 23% of the volumes fished are affected by overfishing, and 2% come from populations considered "collapsed". Globally, overfishing contributes to the collapse of many marine populations. (ifremer.fr)
🌊 Fish, crustaceans, and other marine creatures have a nervous system and respond to pain. Their fins, with their astonishing shapes, remind us that we share a distant common ancestor. After all, we share the same Earth
