The ocean reminds us we are bound together. It shapes our climate, sustains ecosystems & economies, and feeds billions.

On World Ocean Day, let's act with ambition & resolve to build a new relationship with the ocean – grounded in science & build on shared responsibility.

What is ocean science, and why do we need it?

The ocean sustains all life on Earth, and is the planet's largest ecosystem – yet we know very little about it.

#OceanScience enables us to understand and protect the ocean and the services it provides to humanity.
