The oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, and we are equally responsible for wise use and protection of their resources.

This publication examines the role and future of our oceans, drawing on evidence from regional and national case studies, and considers approaches that can help mitigate our impact on them and protect marine biodiversity....
