The conference advocates for open and inclusive accessibility, sustainable underwater cultural and natural heritage tourism, and addresses the impacts of climate change on marine environments. It also emphasizes upskilling and reskilling of the next generation of ocean professionals, while strengthening global collaboration and innovation in support of the Blue Economy.
