As the United Nations commemorates its 80th anniversary, Beijing-based American vlogger Robbie Swain turned his spotlight to the seas that shape our planet.
Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface and play a crucial role in:
- Climate regulation through heat and carbon storage.
- Supporting vast biodiversity across marine ecosystems.
- Backing human livelihoods from fisheries to coastal communities.
Swain highlighted that the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) has sparked global awareness, but said continued momentum is essential. 'Ocean conservation is a shared responsibility and the foundation of a healthy future for all,' he stressed.
His message resonates across borders—from young digital citizens and entrepreneurs to activists, sports fans and travelers. As the UN marks eight decades, Swain reminds us that safeguarding our oceans is the wave of collective action that will define tomorrow's world.
