Position statements

The United Nations Environmental Assembly's 2024 resolution - Strengthening ocean efforts to tackle climate change, marine biodiversity loss, and pollution - recognises the need for concerted action to address the interconnected challenges affecting our oceans. The Two Oceans Aquarium and Foundation are uniquely positioned to achieve impact through the significant number of people we reach, and this impact is further amplified by our location in the V&A Waterfront.

Plastics and pollution, overfishing, biodiversity loss, and climate change are all key threats that need to be addressed for a thriving ocean that supports people and nature. Our position statements guide our actions in response to these threats and support our efforts to galvanise individual, interpersonal, community, organisational action or support for multistakeholder processes and policy change.
