U.S. Rolls Out First National Ocean Biodiversity Strategy

This strategy outlines a holistic approach to understanding and preserving marine ecosystems, crucial for maintaining the country's economic, environmental, and cultural prosperity.

President Biden has emphasised the ocean's critical role in sustaining life on Earth, highlighting its contributions to jobs, food supply, climate moderation, and cultural identity. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to conserving at least 30% of U.S. waters by 2030, addressing the escalating threats of warming, overfishing, and biodiversity loss.
