Aligning our mission
The ocean business community has the need and opportunity to advance the sustainable development of the ocean. Achieving a balance between ‘blue’ growth, jobs, and a sound maritime environment will largely be based on addressing the opportunities and challenges facing the diverse, extensive set of existing ocean activities. Success in improving ocean governance and sustainable marine development will require coordinated leadership and collaboration by the diverse ocean business community.
