Action So Far>

The High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (The Ocean Panel) aims to advance a more prosperous and resilient future for people and the planet.

Countries across our blue planet are coming together for a sustainable ocean economy. Nations large and small, across all ocean basins, at every stage of economic development, at every extreme of the ocean environment from the tropics to the arctic.

A healthy ocean is essential for everyone.

Humanity’s well-being is intertwined with the health of the ocean. The ocean stabilizes the climate, sustains us, and leads to greater prosperity.

Transformations: A vision for protection, production and prosperity

The framework for change is laid out in the new ocean action agenda, built upon knowledge and science.

‘Transformations for a Sustainable Ocean Economy’ is the culmination of a historic effort to chart the course towards a sustainable ocean economy and sets out the shared aim to sustainably manage 100% of the ocean area under national jurisdiction, guided by Sustainable Ocean Plans.
