The Economist Group’s World Ocean Initiative imagines an ocean in robust health, and with a vital economy. Year-round and at their flagship World Ocean Summit, they foster a global conversation on the greatest challenges facing the seas, inspiring bold thinking, new partnerships and the most effective action to build a sustainable ocean economy.
