Scientists at the One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, southern France, have issued a powerful plea to the global community. On Thursday, they released 10 recommendations urging United Nations members to take urgent and decisive action to safeguard the ocean, with the guidance of science.
The recommendations highlight the essential role of scientific evidence in shaping policies that protect marine ecosystems and support communities that rely on marine resources. By bridging research and decision-making, scientists aim to keep the ocean healthy and resilient amid mounting pressures.
Delegates stress that these 10 points outline a clear roadmap for UN members: strengthen collaboration, share critical data and invest in ocean science. The united call is simple but urgent—swift, science-led action is key to securing the future of our planet's oceans.
