Join the #OceanDecade

As the Ocean Decade enters its second half, the new Call for Decade Actions No. 10 seeks initiatives that enhance the science-policy-society nexus, translating scientific evidence into policies for sustainable ocean management and community well-being. This tenth Call comes as the Decade continues to gain global momentum and ocean issues climb higher on political and social agendas, in a year marked by increased cooperation for a sustainable ocean future — from the 2025 UN Ocean Conference to the final ratifications needed for the BBNJ Agreement to enter into force.

Building on these historic achievements, the Ocean Decade now looks ahead to its next milestone – the 2027 Ocean Decade Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a flagship event to accelerate ocean action and shape the Decade’s long-term legacy. In this context and rooted in the priorities of the Barcelona Statement, the new Call for Decade Actions No. 10/2025 invites initiatives that address the most pressing ocean issues and reinforce the science-policy-society interface for evidence-based decision-making. Help continue connecting science, policy, and society and increasing the participation of underrepresented groups and regions!
