The authorities in Moldova change, the owners and “ultimate beneficiaries” succeed each other, and the fate of the port, which was once called almost the “golden gate” of Moldova, remains vague and unenviable.

New approaches to financing the oceans

The more humanity learns about the oceans, the more obvious it becomes how little we actually understand about them. For example, it is believed that there are actually three times as many marine species as we have already identified. This fact alone should make us stop treating the ocean as something self-evident.
