DECADE ACTION INCUBATOR 2

Marine Life 2030: Increase our knowledge of marine biodiversity in Indo-Western Pacific region for better conservation and management

The Indo-Western Pacific Region is known to host the richest marine life in the world, yet many knowledge gaps remain.

Marine Life 2030, one of the UN Ocean Decade’s endorsed programmes, aims to establish a global integrated marine biodiversity information management and forecasting system for sustainable development and conservation.

This incubator aims to introduce the concept and perspectives of ML2030 and its related activities in the Indo-Western Pacific region, and discuss with a variety of audience how to increase our knowledge on marine biodiversity and how to build and share the obtained knowledge for better actions toward a sustainable ocean.
