Global Oceans
AMCS championed Australia’s magnificent marine life at two crucial back to back international gatherings of the ocean community.
Thanks to you, AMCS was able to attend the UN Ocean Decade and the Our Ocean 2024 conferences. At this crucial time for the future of our oceans, these global meetings shone the international spotlight firmly on their plight.
Three years into the Ocean Decade, delegates discussed the progress delivered so far and drafted a clearer agenda for the challenges facing our oceans including restoring marine ecosystems, beating pollution and tackling ocean warming.
Our Oceans is filling gaps in ocean protection by providing a platform every year for decision-makers to announce big action for our big blue backyard. At this year’s conference over $11bn was committed.
During the next 12 months there will be further international negotiations among nations, stakeholders, marine industries and ocean advocates like ourselves heading towards the pivotal UN Oceans 2025 meeting.
It is through your ongoing support that AMCS is able to give a voice to our oceans on the international stage. Thank you to our oceanloving community across Australia.
