Tanya Bryan, Janina Korting (eds) (2018) Financing Sustainable Management of Marine and Coastal Biodiversity. Published by Blue Solutions, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH GRID-Arendal, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment)

The Blue Solutions Initiative collates, documents and shares successful approaches, or “solutions”, addressing marine and coastal challenges. The sharing and exchanging of these solutions provides others with examples and lessons learned, and can inspire to adapt and replicate these achievements without “reinventing the wheel”, thereby accelerating action for sustaining healthy marine and coastal ecosystems. The Blue Solutions Initiative facilitates exchange around solutions through the marine and coastal solutions portal on the PANORAMA – Solutions for a Healthy Planet platform (www.panorama.solutions/marinecoastal) and in face-to-face meetings such as workshops and trainings.

The Global Ocean Science Report (GOSR) assesses for the first time the status and trends in ocean science capacity around the world. The Report offers a global record of who, how, and where ocean science is conducted: generating knowledge, helping to protect ocean health, and empowering society to support sustainable ocean management in the framework of the United Nations Agenda 2030. The Global Ocean Science Report identifies and quantifies the key elements of ocean science at the national, regional and global scales, including workforce, infrastructure and publications. This is the first collective attempt to systematically highlight opportunities as well as capacity gaps to advance international collaboration in ocean science and technology. This Report is a resource for scientist, academics, policy makers, and other stakeholders seeking to harness the potential of ocean science to address global challenges, the Report makes a case for increased funding in view of the ocean’s economic importance and other social and scientific challenges (e.g. the UN Sustainable Development Goals)
