“The Ocean generates half the oxygen we need and absorbs a quarter of all carbon dioxide emissions. It is not just the lungs of the planet, but also its largest carbon sink. The ocean is the primary regulator of the global climate and provides billions of people with food and livelihoods. The science is clear. We humans are responsible for the ocean’s problems; overfishing, coral bleaching, pollution, so, we have to provide the solutions.”

“Learning about the ocean, how it functions how important it is to humanity's survival. It produces half of the oxygen we breathe every moment. It delivers about 15 percent of the animal protein that humans need to survive. In some countries, as much as 40 percent of animal protein comes from the sea. You know, the jobs that it delivers, you know, 60 million jobs in the fishing, fisheries and aquaculture industry.”

A special event called Sustainable Blue Economy Investment Forum 2022 (SBEIF), which will take place on the afternoon of June 28 at the Estoril the Estoril Congress Centre, in Cascais.
SBEIF aims to bring together the “ecosystem” of the Blue Economy - public and private sector companies, including start-ups, investors, financial, incubation, acceleration and innovation entities, researchers, academies, and other relevant organizations - in order to promote partnerships of business and the effective and consistent financing of an innovative maritime economy.
Hudson stressed that “when we say blue economy, we're obviously talking about sustainable blue economy, not just any old activity in the ocean, that may or may not be sustainable.”
Co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal, the Ocean Conference seeks to find solutions for a sustainably managed ocean, involving green technology and innovative uses of marine resources.
It will also address the threats to health, ecology, economy, and governance of the ocean - acidification, marine litter and pollution, illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, and the loss of habitats and biodiversity.
