Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails. As the CEO of Ocean Conservancy, I naturally look to our ocean. There, we can tackle shipping emissions, which are projected to generate 18% of all global emissions by 2050. If we continue on our current path, we will see our ocean deteriorate before our eyes.
