“In order to really take stock of our
relationship with the ocean and
hope to change it, we must open up
dialogue with all relevant stakeholders,
to better understand the issues which
link the seas and humanity: this will
allow us to place the ocean at the
heart of our development paradigm.”

“We cannot protect the oceans without addressing
the climate crisis, nor address the climate
crisis without the power of the ocean.
We must sustainably exploit the potential
of marine renewable energies, we must protect
and restore our blue carbon coastal ecosystems,
and we must decarbonise the international
maritime transport sector.”
