‘Revive Our Ocean’ Global Initiative Launched to Empower Coastal Communities in Marine Protection.
International
In April 2025, a new global initiative titled ‘Revive Our Ocean’, a first-of-its-kind programme, was launched to empower coastal communities in establishing and managing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) through localized efforts.
- This initiative is being spearheaded by the United States of America (USA)-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Dynamic Planet, in collaboration with the National Geographic Society (NGS)’s Pristine Seas programme.
- The initiative is supported by renowned British naturalist David Attenborough and is structured around three core pillars: Inspire, Enable, and Equip.
Main Point :- (i) The primary objective of this initiative is to assist coastal communities in creating and managing MPAs by eliminating barriers that hinder their conservation efforts.
(ii) Revive Our Ocean has also formed the Revive Our Ocean Collective, uniting local leaders and successful community organizations to promote collaborative marine protection.
(iii) Initially, the programme will focus on seven countries: United Kingdom (UK), Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico.
