Sustainable Ocean Economy

18 countries working to catalyze and implement ocean solutions around the world


The Ocean Panel includes 18 countries and their leaders building momentum toward a sustainable ocean economy where effective protection, sustainable production, and equitable prosperity go together. By enhancing humanity’s relationship with the ocean, bridging ocean health and wealth, working with diverse stakeholders, and harnessing the latest knowledge, the Ocean Panel aims to facilitate a better, more resilient future for people and the planet. The Ocean Panel supports 100% effective management of country waters and the global goal of 30×30.

To build a sustainable ocean economy, we must stop the degradation of the world’s marine ecosystems and improve the environmental status of the oceans. This will require action from all of us.
