The Ocean

Be it for food, employment, recreation, or simply the production of oxygen, the ocean acts as a聽unifying body,听connecting and supporting all life on earth. This global force has the power to bring together people from a multitude of fields and backgrounds to address ocean issues. Finding a common thread amongst diverse actors will allow us to weave a tapestry of integrated solutions that contribute to enhancing the sustainability of marine resources.
