Building global knowledge of marine life for local action

Building global knowledge of marine life for local action

Our Vision

By 2030 and beyond, anyone, anywhere, will have access to information on marine species and ecosystems important to local fisheries, culture, health, and livelihoods. We will be able to diagnose how species are shifting with climate change and management interventions, to achieve a sustainable future for nature and people.

What We Do

Convene

stakeholders to chart the course together, implementing equitable management for long-term coordination and financing of global marine life observation and applications

Leverage

emerging innovation to democratize marine life knowledge, using ‘omics, acoustics, imaging, and AI, and a sequence-based Ocean Biocode of global marine species

Integrate

biodiversity into a global ocean observation system by establishing and promoting interoperable biodiversity standards and best practices, integrating with other disciplines

Apply

enhanced knowledge of marine life to co-develop solutions, informing conservation and sustainable use of marine life by trained stakeholders in every coastal nation
