# Why did the 7oceans project come about? Through his work as an apnea diver, Chris has traveled all over the world and of course seen the most beautiful dive sites in the world. But there is also a downside. The world's 7 oceans are threatened by many dangers that have become increasingly clear to Chris over the years. He has made it his mission to fight against these dangers: 1. Shark Finning - Separating the fins of the shark alive 2. Pollution of the oceans by plastic waste 3. Coral mortality due to climate change 4. Overfishing 5. Ghost nets 6. Deep-sea drilling 7. Corrosion of shipwrecks More information about these dangers can be found at: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
