Session 3b
There is broad recognition that oceans bring wealth, through fisheries, aquaculture, minerals, energy, commerce, tourism, and more. They are a global, irreplaceable source of income and livelihood. However, there is an increasing awareness that oceans are also critical to human health and well-being. This session aims to identify opportunities and levers for promoting ‘healthy oceans-healthy people’. Here, we continue the conversation started in the US hub’s Session 3 by taking a closer look at some of the challenges and opportunities related to the intersection of oceans and human health. During three simultaneous breakouts, namely ocean plastic solutions, connecting healthy oceans to human well-being and promoting sustainable fisheries, we ask the panellists and participants to provide multi-sector, forward-thinking transdisciplinary perspectives on ocean solutions in an interactive discussion.
