Ocean conservation is vital for sustaining aquatic food systems but multiple threats, including climate change and pollution, demand urgent global attention and collaborative efforts. A new paper published in the journal npj Ocean Sustainability titled “Engaging the Tropical Majority to Make Ocean Governance and Science More Equitable and Effective” emphasizes the significance of involving people from tropical regions, especially those in low to middle-income countries who rely on the ocean for their livelihoods, in steering ocean governance for thriving ocean societies and ecosystems.
