More needs to be done to protect the world's oceans.

That's the message from Harrison Ford, who has been speaking on the final day of the World Government Summit in Dubai.

The Star Wars and Indiana Jones star also issued a warning about the devastating consequences of failing to act on climate change.

Ford lists one thing that can be done to safeguard the waters.
