The Ocean's Turning Tide

Over 10% of Earth's ocean is now protected — an invisible boundary drawn by collective human restraint, so the wild sea can breathe. In the last two years, 5 million square kilometers of ocean became sanctuary. Below the shimmering threshold, life unfurls: turtles glide, corals bloom, jellyfish pulse with quiet light. Above, sunbeams pour through like cathedral windows. The ocean doesn't know about our borders. But maybe, for the first time, it can feel us holding back. 🐢 Art inspired by UNEP's milestone announcement. 🎨 @iris.artist | #OceanConservation #MarineProtectedAreas #HopeInBlue #TurningTide
