Our ocean is under pressure because of pollution, CO2 emissions, over-fishing, etc. There is one UN plan for the ocean (Sustainable Development Goal 14) but there are many stakeholders. They all need science to understand the impact of their activities on "our blue home". Solutions cannot be developed in isolation, therefore the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) will be key. By sharing information and addressing ocean issues from different perspectives, we will increase our chances to reverse the decline of our ocean before it is too late.

Stein van Oosterem explains the concept of the UN Decade of Ocean Science.
