Open New Possibilities for Human Lives and Livelihoods
We face a critical need for new and renewable sources of water, food, energy, and jobs.
With a rapidly changing climate and global population expected to exceed 10 billion this century, we face a critical need for new and renewable sources of water, food, energy, and jobs. Today, ocean science and technology are leading the way to ensure food and energy security, boost the blue economy, and sustainably meet humanity's growing needs.
