Organisation’s vision:

By 2030 and beyond, anyone, anywhere, will have access to information on marine species and ecosystems important to local fisheries, culture, health, and livelihoods. We will be able to diagnose how species and biodiversity are shifting with climate change and management interventions, to achieve a sustainable future for nature and people.

Organisation’s mission:

Marine Life 2030 is the global community that forms a dynamic observatory to map, track, and deliver knowledge of the world’s marine species and habitats to people. It links and strengthens existing programs, leverages frontier technologies, and builds local capacity to advance the grand challenge of delivering the knowledge that sustains a healthy, resilient ocean and the people that depend on it.

Organisation’s objectives (if different from the Mission):

The science we need to achieve the ocean we want requires transformations in technology, in the culture of science, and in the scale and nature of coordination. Marine Life 2030 will: (1) work with other Ocean Decade Programs and convene stakeholders around the world to co-design, coordinate and finance sustainable marine life observation and applications; (2) leverage emerging innovation in ‘omics, acoustics, imaging, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence to align biodiversity with other ocean parameters; (3) integrate the critical missing pieces into a global, multi-disciplinary and interoperable ocean observation system; and (4) co-deliver solutions, starting with the communities that need them the most.
