“RISE UP – A Blue Call to Action”

RISE UP – A Blue Call to Action is an unprecedented joint call from civil society and philanthropic organisations urging governments and businesses to take the bold, fair actions needed to safeguard the ocean.  
The Oceano Azul Foundation partnered together with Ocean Unite and Oak Foundation decided to bring together an influential group of ocean conservation organizations and foundations, Indigenous peoples and fisherfolk to agree on common priorities and solutions needed to tackle the ocean crisis and raise the level of ambition for action. 
You may help us spread the word and be part of the “RISE UP – A Blue Call to Action" by calling organizations to sign up via the website: www.riseupfortheocean.org and by sharing over social media using the hashtag #RiseUp4TheOcean.

With RISE UP we are calling not for what is possible, but for what is needed!
