This month we are thrilled to launch our award-winning immersive website ‘The Sea We Breathe’ as a new underwater virtual reality experience, narrated by Helena Bonham Carter. From giant manta rays to gentle seagrass meadows, this completely immersive experience takes viewers on an incredible underwater journey to explore what a healthy ocean looks like and understand its role in flighting climate change.
We also celebrate a substantial further step forward for the UK Overseas Territories’ Blue Belt. As the first campaign I worked on at Blue Marine, the Blue Belt has a special place in my ocean heart, and the extension of 166,000 sq kms of no-take protection in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is another significant milestone for the extraordinary ambition and vision of the programme. We warmly invite you to dive Into the Blue with us.

30x30 Ocean Action Plan
To help meet the 30×30 target, a two-pronged Action Plan is presented to support context-specific strategies and guide implementation by all governments and relevant stakeholders involved in the push to 30×30. The Action Plan does not aim to create new mechanisms or prescribe fixed solutions. Rather, it serves as a unifying call to align ongoing efforts, illuminate the enablers already within reach and encourage the collective resolve needed to turn ambition into tangible action.
