Human Health and the Ocean Factsheet Set now available

EMB, together with the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) have developed a set of factsheets explaining the links between human health and the ocean as part of the EU Horizon 2020 funded Sea Change project. The purpose of the factsheets is to communicate that the marine environment, its structure and processes have a major bearing on current and future health and wellbeing, and public health more broadly. In addition, they spread the message that we all share the responsibility of looking after the ocean and that by taking small actions and changing our habits we can make a big difference. Each of the 5 factsheets explores a different topic and suggests ‘ocean-friendly’ actions connected to each topic. The factsheets accompany the ocean and human health animation. After viewing these products we welcome your feedback via a short survey on the factsheets and on the animation. The survey will be open to complete until 31 August 2016.
