What OceanCare has going on in 2026
2026 is an important year for marine conservation. With the entry into force of the High Seas Treaty, for the first time, there is a possibility to protect marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction – which cover more than two-thirds of world’s ocean. OceanCare is committed to ensuring that political promises translate into real conservation measures.
At the same time, the organisation is actively working to stop the plastic wave – both internationally and in Switzerland – and gives the ocean a strong voice in political processes through science-based advocacy. A particular focus lies on the Mediterranean, where OceanCareadvocates for a general reduction of underwater noise and for effective measures to protect endangered whales from deadly ship strikes.
