Pacific solutions to save our ocean

South Pacific Community (SPC) - New Caledonia

Change humanity’s relationship with the ocean, Develop a sustainable and equitable ocean economy, North Pacific Ocean, Programme, Protect and restore ecosystems and biodiversity, Skills, knowledge and technology for all, South Pacific Ocean, Unlock ocean-based solutions to climate change

This Ocean Decade action aims to leverage the spate of national ocean policies launched (NOPs) in the Pacific in recent years that all address a need for greater integrated ocean management (IOM)

This action seeks to increase scientific capacity and create opportunities for ocean science to feed into decision making. This will be achieved by focusing on three major aspects including regulatory frameworks, decision support systems, and increased considerations for Pacific culture and context. As custodians of the world’s largest marine ecosystems, the Blue Pacific Continent, we seek to save our Ocean and provide solutions to some of our existential challenges such as climate change.

This Programme hosts the following Ocean Decade Projects:

Pacific Ocean Pathways in support of sustainable development: an integrated approach

Pacific Coral Reef Action Science and Knowledge

Threatened and migratory marine species science

Start Date: 01/07/2021
End Date: 31/12/2030
