Short summary
In 2024, global ocean heat content, sea surface temperatures, and sea level rise reached record levels. The triple planetary crisis affects all oceans, where pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change pressure marine systems, threatening key species, ecosystems, and the ocean’s role in climate stability. This ocean narrative calls for reinforced ocean observing systems, improved uncertainties, and robust science-based information for ocean protection policies and actions.
