... and UN Ocean Decade objectives, as well as the knowledge that the ocean connects and benefits all of humankind, the United States has a major interest in participating in what is perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage the global community to provide scientific solutions for ocean sustainability. In 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration asked the Ocean Studies Board at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies)

... Many of the submitted Ocean-Shots addressed new approaches to the conduct of science to make it more inclusive and equitable, including providing greater access to ocean data and information.

... For example, research groups from one theme could meet with another to address overlapping issues. The committee has recommended two foundational and four topical themes that have the potential, if further developed and funded, to openly engage a broad, inclusive community and greatly advance our understanding of the ocean -- its processes, resources, and values -- to enable "the ocean we need for the future we want." The UN Ocean Decade represents a global opportunity to advance ocean science and sustainable practices; it is also an opportunity for the United States to demonstrate international leadership in furthering efforts to ensure that the ocean continues to support the well-being of communities at home and worldwide, for both current and future generations.
