About this Open Call for Concept Notes

For decades the ocean has been an integral part of our food system and our livelihoods and has contributed substantially to the economy. But it has also suffered from rising temperatures and human interventions that destroy fragile ecosystems, reduce fish stocks and erode beaches.
