The ocean is essential to human wellbeing, however human pressures threaten the ability of the ocean to continue to provide benefits. Valued at USD 24 trillion, the ocean economy is the 7th largest global economy in GDP terms, however many sectors that rely on a healthy seascape are losing value under a business-as-usual management regime.
