As the Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge comes to a close, this series of webinars brings together key lessons and recommendations from 10 years of research.
The health of our coastal marine ecosystems is in serious decline with continued losses in biodiversity and the valuable ecosystem services and functions they provide. Effective and appropriate marine governance is critical. To move forward, we must ensure our marine governance is fit-for-purpose and produces sound decisions for the long-term health of the ocean, our communities, and economy. Find out more about the different forms of existing marine governance and the critical ingredients needed to support governance decision-making.
Ecosystem-based management could halt the decline in ocean health and restore the crucial cultural, social, ecological, and economic value of the ocean. But to do ecosystem-based management well, we need to improve the integration, coordination, and efficiency of existing and future marine law and policy. Find out about short and longer-term ways to do this.
