00:00A distraction to the coastal environment or the coastal habitats becomes an existential threat

00:06to a significant number of people. Oh, I just want to live near the ocean so I can hear the waves

00:11when I wake up in the morning. Consider getting a sound machine.

00:14The World Ocean Assessment is the most comprehensive assessment that's being

00:31presented on the current status of the ocean. It's a bit depressing.

00:37A bit depressing? This is hugely depressing. The World Ocean Assessment is very important,

00:42but do you know what else it stands for? We're overly awful to our ocean mother.

00:47We need to evaluate our awfulness.

00:53We're probably sick of talking about plastics, but plastics are already actually making us sick.

01:02Was COVID-1, 2, and 3 not enough for you? Omicron, Delta, monkey pox, smallpox, chicken pox, polio?

01:10Pharmaceutical and personal care products that are supposed to make us feel safer eventually end

01:18up harming us. Wait a second. I use baby shampoo because it's gentle on my baby face. Are you

01:23saying my no more tears shampoo is giving the ocean tears? According to some projections,

01:33economic activity in the ocean are expected to double in value by 2030, amounting to more than

01:40three trillion dollars a year. So that equates to the production cost of 18,182 euphorias.

01:51That's a lot of Zendayas. But at the same time, all these benefits that we receive from the ocean

01:57could be easily reversed if we don't stop this continued destruction of ocean resources.

02:07I love you Zendaya, but I'd much rather protect ocean resources. Sorry Z.

02:16Globally speaking, we've lost more than 1.2 million hectares of mangroves over the last

02:2330 years alone. And this is equivalent to 2.5 million football pitches. Two and a half

02:31million football fields. And I know you guys watch football, so this should really wake you up.

02:40Algal blooms can cause direct harm to human beings, such as paralytic poisoning and neurotoxic

02:47poisonings. Algal blooms are the worst. They can be red, green, slimy, toxic. They can be

02:54more toxic than your ex. But in addition to the negative effects on the well-being of human beings,

03:00you also pose a threat to living organisms. You don't want to see algal blooms unless you

03:07enjoy sleeping in Nickelodeon green slime. Who are you? In order to save humanity

03:17and marine life, a degree of awareness is really, really critical. We need to take action

03:24as soon as possible. Oh my god, it's so boring. Okay, anyway, I said that. Are you kidding? This

03:31isn't boring at all. I'm no expert, but I'm angrier than ever. And therefore, such reports

03:38of the World Ocean Assessment can be extremely helpful in making the right decision that

03:44delivers a win-win both for people and the ocean as well. And therefore, that's why I think we

03:50should all take action and protect the ocean so we can win together. Unless you like to lose.
