The ocean is one of humanity's greatest shared resources. It covers 70% of the planet, and two-thirds of the ocean is in areas beyond national jurisdiction – or ‘international waters’.Because of its sheer scale and complexity, no country can fully study and understand the ocean alone.

Since then, UNESCO-IOC has played a key role in global #OceanScience cooperation, working across disciplines and borders to understand, measure, alert, evaluate, and manage the global ocean.
