On the occasion of the global celebration of World Oceans Day on 8 June 2023, the Ocean Decade announces the official endorsement of 47 new Decade Actions, strengthening the momentum for ocean knowledge-based solutions.

With the aim of achieving the Ocean Decadevision of ‘the science we need for the ocean we want’， the newly endorsed Decade Actions address priority ocean science issues such as community resilience to ocean hazards, creation of a digital representation of the ocean, sustainable ocean economy, ocean literacy and capacity development.

Spanning all continents from Canada and Liberia to France and the Philippines, these initiatives are led primarily by governmental and research institutions as well as non-governmental organizations and constitute a direct contribution to the 10 Ocean Decade Challenges towards ocean sustainability.

“The Ocean Decade is strengthening this movement through 47 new Decade Actions contributing to the sustainable development of the ocean.”
