Greenpeace South Asia has released a report highlighting the climate crisis’s harmful effects on oceans, such as warming, coral bleaching, and rising sea levels. The report urges governments to ratify the Global Ocean Treaty to protect marine ecosystems and reduce carbon emissions. Campaigners Avinash Chanchal Kumar and Anita Rumeshi Perera emphasized the urgency of action, with a public campaign in Colombo featuring a giant inflatable octopus to raise awareness on ocean conservation.
