Information only

Healthy oceans need informed people.

ActSmall · Ocean is a free, map-first portal: tap any coastal or island nation, see named public indicators (marine protected share of , threatened fish listings), and get one vetted next step — advocacy, guides, or open-data contribution — without signup, third-party trackers, or ads.

Trust first, then action

We colour countries only from indicators we can cite (World Bank Open Data, CC BY 4.0): marine protected share of territorial waters and national threatened-fish counts. We say when figures are national aggregates that hide local detail. Outbound links in the action catalog are HTTP-verified on a schedule like our other ActSmall topics.

Globally even: global resources first; regional chips where an action only applies to specific jurisdictions.

What the map shows today

Marine protected share

ER.MRN.PTMR.ZS — marine protected areas as % of territorial waters, latest year per country, plus a five-year change where the series allows.

Threatened fish species

EN.FSH.THRD.NO — national count from Red List integration via World Bank; interpret alongside assessment effort.

One headline action

Per country: matched to low protection, shrinking protection, or elevated threatened listings — plus universal learn links and a tech-volunteer lane.
