Marine restoration

Marine restoration involves actions taken to restore the marine environment to its state prior to anthropogenic damage. This is particularly disastrous, given that the ocean takes up the largest part of our planet and serves as the home to many organisms, including the algae that provides most oxygen on Earth. The ocean is currently suffering from the impacts of human damage including pollution, acidification, and species loss, among other effects. Efforts have been made by various agencies to help alleviate these issues.
