Future of the Seas and Oceans

The G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative (FSOI) aims to bring together marine scientists and representatives of G7 government agencies and ministries to improve the global ocean observation system. This ocean observation system generates data that can be used, for example, to make statements about the state of our seas and oceans and is necessary for weather and climate forecasting as well as for the development of a sustainable blue economy.
In 2016, the G7 ministers agreed on an ambitious approach to tackling marine issues and developed the "Future of the Seas and Oceans" initiative with five main areas of action.
