Sign Up and Claim Your Piece of Ocean

Seven tenths of Earth is covered by water and the oceans belong to all of us.

Every individual on Earth has a right to assume that the oceans are managed for the benefit of all those alive, their children and grandchildren - not on behalf of vested interests. If the biological diversity of the oceans is to be maintained or restored, large areas must be protected altogether from the commercial fishing industry and responsible fishing must prevail outside those areas.

Every person on the planet can claim 2 hectares of ocean - that's what you get if you divide the surface area of ocean by the number of people on Earth. If the biological diversity of the oceans is to be maintained or restored, large areas must be protected altogether from the commercial fishing industry and responsible fishing must prevail outside those areas.

With some help from our friends at Google, we have created the map you can see here. Anyone willing to pledge their support to the campaign can lay claim to their 2 hectares.
