TransOcean explores how to engage the marine scientific community towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially within the Ocean Decade and the EU Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’, and provides advice to the marine research community.
TransOcean will initially run for 3 years as a transoceanic, transversal and transformative initiative: transoceanic as it reaches many international partners in a collaborative and inclusive way; transversal as it includes a scientific and societal approach; and transformative as it develops methods and strategies to turn marine science towards sustainability and resilience.
TransOcean considers the 3 overarching EU Mission objectives (protect and restore marine ecosystems and biodiversity; prevent and eliminate pollution in oceans and waters; make a sustainable, carbon-neutral and circular blue economy) and all 10 Decade Challenges. TransOcean will always keep the double perspective of favouring increased marine knowledge and enhancing public mobilisation and engagement.
