People depend on biodiversity —the heart of healthy ecosystems… yet biodiversity is the missing link in marine observing
Marine Life 2030 is a program endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (the Ocean Decade) to establish a globally coordinated system that delivers knowledge of ocean life to those who need it, promoting human well-being, sustainable development, and ocean conservation.
Want to learn more about ML2030? Check out this recording from the AIR Centre hosted “Marine Biodiversity Networking Fridays.” This session, MBON and the organization of a global community for the Ocean Decade: Priorities, benefits, and co-design strategies, engaged participants from 57 countries in the design of the Marine Life 2030 Ocean Decade program, including a request to contribute to the leadership of themes and tasks.
