• Expand the Global Ocean Observing System (14.A increase scientific knowledge of the ocean, supporting 12.8 information for sustainable development, and 16.10 protect the right to information).
• Create a digital representation of the ocean (9.5 support science, 12.8 information for sustainable development, 16.10 protect the right to information).
• Skills, knowledge and technology for all (4.4 skills for work, 4.7 Education for Sustainable Development, 12.8 information for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature, 13.3 climate education and action).
• Change humanity’s relationship with the ocean (4.7 Education for Sustainable Development, 12.8 information for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature, 13.3 climate education and action, 15.9 embed diverse values of nature into planning and activities).
