The ocean economy is booming. But for how long? - UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)

The ocean economy is experiencing significant growth, driven by advances in technology and increased global demand for marine resources. However, this boom raises critical questions about sustainability and long-term viability. The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) examines the delicate balance between economic expansion and environmental stewardship. As industries tap into ocean resources, it is imperative to assess the impacts on marine ecosystems and ensure that this economic growth does not come at the expense of ocean health.
