Last week, I attended the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, together with a small team from the International Seabed Authority (ISA) Office of Stewardship, Environment and Resources and Communications & Global Engagement Unit. From 7 to 13 June, the global ocean community came together to accelerate action and mobilize all actors in support of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
