Summary: Oceans cover three quarters of the planet surface, connect populations through ports and markets; are, thus, an important natural and cultural heritage for humanity. Marine environments offer important environmental services: they provide approximately half of the oxygen we breathe, absorb more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we produce, play an important role in water cycle and climate system, and are an essential source of biodiversity. All this contributes to marine and continental ecosystem sustainability, to economic development, to poverty eradication, to food security, to transportation and maritime traffic, to decent work opportunities and means of survival (United Nations, 2017).
