The ocean has experienced dramatic change over the past century, with the profound impacts of industrial fishing compounded by habitat loss, pollution and climate change. But together, we can turn the tide. Join us on an inspiring and revealing journey through the ocean ecosystems and the spectacular biodiversity of the underwater world. Discover how protection and restoration of ocean habitats, science-based fisheries management, community-led conservation, inclusive policy outcomes, and targeted species conservation can lead to a healthier, more resilient ocean - that supports all life on Earth.

Interactive discussions will include a focus on the critical role of nature finance and a sustainable “blue” economy to reduce biodiversity loss, build resilient communities, and mitigate climate change effects, ensuring that the ocean continues to provide social and economic benefits for generations to come.
