Our Oceans and Blue Economy Program aims at promoting policy, practice and technological innovation that support the sustainable use of ocean and marine resources and the development of an inclusive blue economy. We examine the extent to which industrial and human activities, including tourism, over-fishing, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change are affecting ocean health and discuss the role that sustainable technology and innovation, including big data, can play in achieving sustainability.
