Ocean Solutions That Benefit People, Nature and the Economy

This report presents a new paradigm for the relationship between the ocean and humans, focusing on reciprocal care and rewards. Rather than simply minimizing destruction, it puts forward a balanced model for simultaneously achieving ocean protection, sustainable production, and equitable prosperity. The document draws on the latest global research, insights from 16 Blue Papers, three special reports commissioned by the Ocean Panel, and ideas from wide-ranging consultations. 

More than 20 international experts have contributed to a robust peer review process. The report offers science-based information and action options for policymakers and other key actors but does not dictate policies. It's an independent input to the Ocean Panel process and does not necessarily represent the Panel's views.
