The abundance of water on the Earth's surface is an exceptional feature that distinguishes our "Blue Planet" from others. Beyond the species that inhabit them, the oceans are essential to all living organisms on Earth. Thanks to the oceans, clouds and rainfall are produced, allowing vital water to reach all terrestrial ecosystems and human communities.

Therefore, CEMEX has dedicated the 19th edition of its Conservation Book Series, entitled “Oceans: Heart of Our Blue Planet”, to raising awareness of the critical importance of our planet's marine ecosystems. Together with the printed publication, we’ve released the first electronic edition of this lavishly illustrated book. We aim to reach broad audiences to inspire actions that help maintain healthy oceans.

CEMEX is greatly honored to have published this new book in collaboration with such highly respected organizations as the Wildlife Conservation Society, National Geographic, Old Dominion University, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Coastal Oceans Research and Development in the Indian Ocean (CORDIO), New England Aquarium, and Code Blue.

We sincerely hope this book will inspire actions that help maintain healthy oceans for the sustainability of our planet and society.

About CEMEX’s Conservation Book Series:

This series, which we have published since 1993, is part of our commitment to promote a culture of biodiversity awareness and conservation among our stakeholders. We publish a new book each year that illustrates strategies and diverse approaches to foster the protection of our natural world—complemented by powerful images from the world's best nature photographers. We have distributed these books through both the public and private sectors, including universities. We have also donated thousands of the books to conservation organizations to help them fund their projects.
