The campaign will raise awareness of the critical role coral reefs play in maintaining healthy ocean and inspire individuals to take action to protect them. 

“Every second breath we take comes from the ocean and coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea. They provide a critical habitat for countless marine species, directly impacting the health of our ocean and planet and providing us with vital resources for survival, including the air we breathe,” said Executive Director of The Reef-World Foundation, Chloe Harvey.

The ‘Drops in the Ocean’ campaign will leverage the power of Ocean Outdoor’s digital screens across the UK, amplifying the message and reaching a wider audience. Powerful visuals will showcase the beauty and fragility of coral reefs as well as demonstrating the strong connection each person has to these vital ecosystems. Since coral reefs contribute to the health of the ocean which provide 50% of the oxygen for our planet, protecting them is essential for all of us.
