Think Deep! with the Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI)
The vastly unexplored deep ocean still holds many secrets, yet we are asking it to work hard on our behalf, by helping us counter climate change and supply us with food, minerals and medicines. Take a deep dive into the rarely seen world of ocean governance and discover how deep-ocean science can inform policies that benefit us all, by finding the balance between so many competing demands on the deep ocean.
