Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative 346d ago

The deep ocean is the world’s largest environment, harbouring a wealth of biodiversity, much of which remains unknown. Despite its immensity and remoteness, the deep ocean is not immune to the ever-increasing human activities and growing impacts of climate change that are fuelling a global biodiversity crisis. In the deep ocean, this means losing biodiversity we may not have even discovered. Given the magnitude of the potential impacts, maintaining the integrity of deep-sea biodiversity is critical to the health of our entire planet. As an international and interdisciplinary network of experts, the DOSI Biodiversity Task Force strengthens the interface between deep-sea science and global biodiversity policy. Find out more about the conservation of deep-sea biodiversity and DOSI's dedicated Task Force in this video. Interested in advancing deep-ocean science in policy?
