The BIOcean5D policy strategy plan

New deliverable: our strategy to create and distribute three policy briefs that will result from BIOcean5D and other EU-funded research projects is out now

Ocean life plays a major role in human survival, planetary health and society’s economy. Through BIOcean5D, we’re exploring how marine biodiversity, from microbes to mammals, changes across the 5 dimensions of 3-D space, time and human impact. 

Our seventh work package aims to promote the uptake and use of our findings – ultimately to help inform future policies for the protection of marine life. This work is done in collaboration with the EU-funded project BlueRemediomics.

We’re pleased to share the first deliverable from this work package: our policy strategy plan. 

In it, we describe our plans to support informed decision- and policy-making about ocean governance and conservation. We also describe our plans to enhance the public’s understanding of ocean and biodiversity conservation issues.
