Professor Brian Cox's face with a black question mark and scientific items over a purple and orange gradient.

A Question of Science | How can we fix our oceans?

The world’s oceans are in trouble. Scientists warn that marine biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, driven by warming waters, acidification, overfishing and pollution.

From coral reefs to the deep sea, ecosystems that sustain life on Earth are being pushed to their limits, but conservation work is offering hope.

Join our ocean experts as they discuss what the latest science is telling us and crucially, where solutions are being found which could turn the tide.  

Should we prioritise protecting the last remaining pristine environments, or restoring degraded ecosystems? Are global agreements such as the UN High Seas Treaty enough, and how can protections be enforced? How can coastal communities help with ocean health? The panel will explore all this and ask what’s really going to make a difference.
