World Ocean Day 2020

The overall vision of  #VirtualBlueDecade  is to develop a  global platform  that brings the ocean, biodiversity and climate action  communities together  to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals through ocean knowledge and action.  Diversity and inclusion make us stronger . #VirtualBlueDecade will only be possible if we collaborate together from North to South, and West to East. We want to make sure that our  virtual resources will be equally available   everywhere in the world.
