issue.

“The ocean needs us,”
Jason Momoa said. “Without a
healthy ocean life, our planet as we know it would not exist.”
“We must seek to right the wrongs we have done
against our children and grandchildren, turn the tide on our irresponsible
stewardship, and build a moment for a future where humanity can once again live
in harmony with nature.”
Hawaiian-born Momoa, who portrays Aquaman in the DC
Extended Universe movies, was speaking at a youth gathering outside the
Portuguese capital Lisbon.
They were joined at the Carcavelos beach by
Portugal’s
President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and the UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres, who is Portuguese.
Guterres said the world was “moving too slowly” to
rehabilitate the oceans. “It’s time for the behaviors to be seriously
condemned,” he added.
Guterres is on Monday due to address the UN Ocean Conference
in Lisbon, co-organized by Portugal and Kenya.
Originally due to take place in April 2020, the
gathering was postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will run
through Friday.
