UK Ocean Census Launch Event

File - IMAGE DISTRIBUTED FOR OCEAN CENSUS - Sunlight reflects through the surface onto a coral reef in the Maldives in September 2022. Scientists project coral reefs to decline by a further 70% to 90% by 2030 if global warming reaches1.5 degrees. The impact of carbon emissions and overfishing on the marine environment has now prompted The Nippon Foundation, which works to solve global issues through social innovation, and UK marine research institute Nekton to launch the largest programme in history to discover new species across the global ocean before some are lost forever. The goal of scientists on the programme is to find 100,000 new species in a decade - five times the average annual rate, a figure which has not changed much since the mid-1800s.
