style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Why it
matters:</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Together, the Mangrove and
Saltmarsh Breakthroughs recognize that coastal
wetlands – whether tropical or temperate – are
among the most powerful climate allies. Both
ecosystems deliver what climate action desperately
needs: solutions that work on mitigation and
adaptation simultaneously. They sequester carbon
faster than forests while protecting communities
from storms and sea-level rise. They support
fisheries while filtering pollution. Lose them,
and the planet loses critical infrastructure for
climate resilience. Protect them, and the gain is
natural systems that become more valuable as
climate impacts intensify.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">A new Ocean Breakthroughs
Dashboard will make it much easier to track
whether ocean commitments are being followed
through. For years, ocean promises have been easy
to make and difficult to track. Ambitious goals
are announced. Pledges are made to go
"ocean-positive." Commitments are celebrated but
who checks whether shipping companies actually
reduce emissions? Whether offshore wind projects
protect marine life? Whether sustainable fishing
practices spread beyond pilot programs?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The dashboard tracks five
critical ocean sectors – marine conservation,
shipping, coastal tourism, ocean renewable energy,
and seafood systems – and makes the data public.
These five sectors together could deliver up to
35% of the emissions cuts needed by 2050 to keep
warming under 1.5°C.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Why it

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The dashboard's
significance isn't just that it tracks progress –
it's that it identifies gaps so they can be
solved. When it’s clear to see which targets are
being met and which ones are falling behind,
accountability is improved. When investors can
verify which companies are truly ocean-positive,
greenwashing becomes riskier.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Also at COP 30, the One
Ocean Partnership announced a global network of
"Regenerative Seascapes" – large ocean areas where
the goal isn't just to stop degradation, but to
actively restore ocean health while creating
economic opportunity for the people who depend on
it. The targets are ambitious: USD 20 billion in
investment, 20 million square kilometres under
regenerative management (roughly 5% of the entire
ocean), 20 million hectares of critical ecosystems
conserved, and 20 million jobs created – all by
2030.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The word "regenerative" is
key. For decades, ocean conservation has operated
on a defensive model: marine protected areas where
human activity is restricted, fishing quotas that
aim to prevent collapse, pollution regulations
that limit damage. These approaches are necessary,
but they're essentially about doing less harm.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Regenerative approaches
flip the model. Instead of cordoning off areas and
hoping ecosystems recover on their own,
regenerative seascapes actively restore damaged
areas while designing human activities – fishing,
tourism, renewable energy, shipping – to support
rather than undermine ocean health.</P>
