Life on Earth depends heavily on its magnificent and complex ocean ecosystems, but the health of the marine environment is declining. In response, the United Nations will host The Ocean Conference June 5-9 in New York.
Coinciding with World Oceans Day, the conference aims to find solutions for implementing Sustainable Development Goal 14: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.
This collection of Pew’s related resources covers many issues that will be discussed at the conference, such as illegal fishing, marine protection, local ocean leadership, and international governance of the high seas.
