He swam over some of the most precious coral in the world, and is urging all nations gathered at Sharm el-Sheikh for COP27 to drastically cut their emissions, tackle the climate crisis and protect the world’s oceans.
What changes can you make today to help save our planet?
If we continue to heat our planet, coral reefs will die, and with them, the incredible life which they support.
We just can’t let this happen.
Every fraction of a degree of warming is now critical. With a warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, our world will lose 70% of its coral. At 2°C we lose 99%.

Marine Protected Areas offer Hope
The Lewis Pugh Foundation was formed to preserve our oceans for a peaceful and sustainable future.
To date the Foundation has been instrumental in securing full protection for over 2 million km2 of vulnerable ocean.
Its goal is to ensure that 30% of our oceans are properly protected by 2030.
