Human activity is clearly a major threat to the world's oceans.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Marine pollution, climate change, habitat destruction and overfishing all place human pressure on ocean ecosystems.

Protecting oceans therefore requires international cooperation as well as local action, since currents, fish populations and pollution do not respect national borders.
