From the depths of the abyss to the coast, the ocean is battered by the combined effects of climate change and human activities.

Scientists continue to explore it as those aboard the schooner Tara (report), those of the IUCN will insist that it be defended at the World Conservation Congress which will take place from September 3 to 11, 2021, in Marseille .

And this mobilization is urgent, especially in the face of mining ambitions deep in the abyss.
