Today,  25th<\/sup> October, Ifremer<\/a>, the CNRS<\/a> and the IRD<\/a>, with support from the Ocean & Climate Platform, Thomas Pesquet and ESA, are launching a digital world tour of ocean and climate sciences, christened OneOceanScience<\/em>. Scientists from the entire world are participating. Together, they will explain why ocean sciences are essential for better understanding and protecting the ocean. \u201cWhy does ocean science matter?\u201d They\u2019re sounding the alarm: the ocean\u2019s well-being affects all of us and it should be a central part of the climate negotiations.<\/p>\n

Sharing ocean k<\/strong>nowledge from around the world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brought together by OneOceanScience<\/em>, 37 scientists from 33 countries will speak up through a series of short videos on the immersive platform oneoceanscience.com. They\u2019ll talk about why ocean science is essential (Why does ocean science matter?). They\u2019ll explain how the ocean and climate are linked and what solutions they\u2019re working on to preserve ocean ecosystems and society in the face of climate change.  ISS Commander in chief, Thomas Pesquet, will share his vision of the ocean and lend support to scientists. Thanks to support from the Ocean & Climate Platform, the OneOceanScience<\/em> campaign will also be present at COP26 in Glasgow to represent ocean sciences ahead of the international negotiations.<\/p>\n

WIOMSA &  OneOceanScience<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

WIOMSA\u2019s video on the importance of ocean science will be launched on 31 October 2021 at 10.00 GMT+2!<\/strong> We will also feature climate change scientists from the Western Indian Ocean region explaining why ocean science matters on WIOMSA social media platforms on 26-31st October 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ocean has sustained our forefathers and continues to do so as our food basket, nourishing us physically and spiritually. The land has changed dramatically in the last decade. However, the ocean\u2019s changes appear to be much slower and hidden. Our WIO\u2019s goal is to fund ocean science to track hidden changes and their impacts. It is vital to be aware of changes to help communities cope and adapt,\u201d<\/em> said Jacqueline Uku, WIOMSA President.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oneoceanscience<\/em><\/strong>, representing Ocean Sciences At Cop26 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Financed by the Ocean & Climate priority research program and categorized as a UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development action, OneOceanScience<\/em> will kick off COP26\u2019s day on oceans\u2014Ocean Action Day\u2014on November 5<\/strong> in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge COP 26 to include more ocean-based potential in policy responses to climate change and its consequences. WIOMSA will increase its regional investment in ocean science in order to better understand human-caused climate change and assist the WIO region in making better climate policy decisions,\u201d<\/em> says Arthur Tuda, Executive Secretary, WIOMSA.  <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
