The Great Blue Wall Initiative

The Great Blue Wall Initiative aims to protect and restore the world’s coastal and marine ecosystems, much like the Great Green Wall's efforts on land. It focuses on creating a network of marine protected areas along coastlines to safeguard biodiversity, support sustainable fisheries, and combat climate change impacts like rising sea levels and ocean acidification. By strengthening coastal habitats such as mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrasses, the initiative helps maintain healthy ecosystems that support local communities, boost resilience, and preserve the ocean’s health for future generations.
