“The ocean is in deep trouble — and we are pushing it past its limits,” United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres said on Monday (8 June).
Guterres' remarks came on the occasion of World Oceans Day and the UN's release of the third World Ocean Assessment.
According to the report, sea levels continue to rise at an increasing rate; approximately 16% of the increase in global ocean heat since 1955 occurred after 2018; and the amount of Arctic sea ice continues to decrease.
But amid this dire situation, can technology help us protect our oceans?
Euronews Tech Talks interviewed Alain Arnaud, director of the digital ocean programme at the French organisation Mercator Ocean International (Mercator), to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) and satellites can contribute to ocean monitoring.
