The forum has invited hundreds of dignitaries from key marine countries, senior representatives from international organizations, and executives from Fortune 500 marine-related companies to participate. It attracts over ten thousand marine professionals to attend and reaches a global audience through live streaming, making it an important international platform for promoting blue economy cooperation and marine innovation development.

There is no underestimating the progress achieved in the last few years in expanding the scope of the global oceans’ governance, with the adoption of the global biodiversity framework, of the global ocean treaty contributing to secure the protection and effective management of the high seas, the global plastic pollution treaty, to mention some significant positive steps. However, the challenges in ensuring the sustainability of the oceans’ ecosystems keep getting more acute and more urgent. Dr. Zhou will take about the five major challenges facing the ocean and ocean connectivity in the session.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
