Huge announcement from the Egyptian Government! 2,000km of Red Sea coral reefs will be protected in a new Marine Protected Area - the Great Fringing Reef MPA. These reefs are #biodiversity hotspots, critical for ocean health. I am beyond happy! 🐬🐠🪸 Thank you to @hepca_org, @theoceanagency, @mission_blue and everyone who helped to get this across the line 🙏 #COP27Egypt

Coral reefs make up 1% of our ocean but are home to 25% of all marine life. Often called the "rainforests of the seas," they host an abundant variety of sea life including sea turtles, fish, sharks and more.

News Worth Sharing from The Ocean Cleaup:

COCA-COLA BECOMES FIRST GLOBAL IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER TO HELP ACCELERATE CLEANUP

Yesterday we announced that The Ocean Cleanup and Coca-Cola are partnering to deploy Interceptors and expedite river projects. The partnership connects The Ocean Cleanup’s technology and data solutions with Coca-Cola’s scale and global network. Over the course of 18 months, the partnership will facilitate the deployment of Interceptors in fifteen rivers around the world and accelerate cleanup.

Because many plastic bottles are captured during our cleanup operations, including Coca-Cola packaging, we are happy to see Coca-Cola take this step and hope it will give rise to others in the industry to also join in on cleaning up the environment.
