A newly released United Nations report warns that the world’s oceans are under rapidly increasing pressure due to human activities. The report, titled the Third World Ocean Assessment, reveals that global sea levels have doubled over the past ten years. It attributes this to pollution, large-scale commercial fishing, and other human-induced factors. The assessment involved 600 scientists from 86 countries who monitored ocean conditions between 2021 and 2025, following an earlier study covering 2016 to 2021.
According to the report, the rate of sea level rise accelerated from two millimeters per year in 2015 to 4.3 millimeters in 2023. Since 1955, ocean temperatures have risen by an average of 16 percent globally, with the Atlantic Ocean warming the most, followed by the Indian and southern Pacific Oceans. Each year, about 52.1 million tons of plastic enter the oceans, affecting the habitats of over 4,000 marine species.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized that oceans can no longer be considered limitless and called for urgent global cooperation to protect marine ecosystems through science-based and law-governed international partnerships.
