SUMMARY:ArtSea Matchmaking Online Exhibition & Event
DESCRIPTION:The ArtSea Matchmaking online exhibition has just launched and features a selection of artworks created by 13 ArtSea teams during their year-long collaborations. The teams were matched last year through an open call for deep-sea scientists and artists to explore new ways of connecting deep-sea science and art. Most of the artworks will also be available for purchase\, providing an opportunity to support the participating artists. The exhibition will remain open through October and is a UN Ocean Decade-endorsed activity supported by the Deep-Sea Biology Society. \nThe final ArtSea event will take place online on 15 September from 19:00-20:30 CEST and will wrap up this year’s project with a summary of the collaborations and their outcomes\, as well as a discussion of possibilities for future ArtSea activities. The event is free and open to everyone – a chance to present the artwork and the science behind it\, and to celebrate the collaborations and the people involved. Join the event here.

SUMMARY:31st Session of the ISA (Part I)\, Council – Kingston\, Jamaica
DESCRIPTION:  \nReflective summary \nDOSI participated in the first part of the 31st session of the Council of the International Seabed Authority (9–19 March 2026\, Kingston\, Jamaica)\, contributing scientific expertise to ongoing negotiations on regulations for deep-sea mining in areas beyond national jurisdiction. \nThroughout the session\, DOSI provided independent\, science-based input to support discussions on environmental protection\, exploitation regulations\, and key governance mechanisms. This included formal interventions and extensive engagement with state delegations and stakeholders on issues such as biodiversity\, ecosystem functions\, cumulative impacts\, and the application of the precautionary approach. \nThe session highlighted the growing recognition of the importance of robust scientific evidence in shaping policy decisions related to the deep ocean. DOSI’s contributions were actively referenced in discussions and welcomed by multiple delegations\, reinforcing the value of sustained scientific engagement in international processes. \nAs negotiations continue\, DOSI remains committed to ensuring that deep-sea science informs decision-making and supports the effective protection and stewardship of ocean ecosystems. \nRead the full blog for detailed insights from the session: \nDOSI at the 31st session of the Council of ISA (Part I)

SUMMARY:DOSI Town Hall at Ocean Sciences Meeting - Glasgow\, Scotland
DESCRIPTION:DOSI Town Hall\nDeep-Ocean Science as the Foundation for a Thriving Global Ocean (TH33F)\nWednesday 25 February 2026\, 12:45-13:45\nDOSI is hosting a Town Hall at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow\, focused on the essential role of deep-ocean science in underpinning a healthy\, resilient\, and productive global ocean. This session will bring together researchers\, policymakers\, and practitioners to discuss how deep-ocean knowledge supports effective ocean governance\, informs international agreements\, and enables sustainable management across areas within and beyond national jurisdiction. \nThe Town Hall will provide space for open discussion\, community exchange\, and identification of priorities for advancing deep-ocean science in support of global ocean goals. \nThe deep ocean is a vast Earth-spanning ecosystem\, kilometres deep and continuously yielding new discoveries. It is also attracting increasing commercial attention. Nascent deep-sea mining and marine carbon dioxide removal industries are potential significant new pressures on top of ongoing impacts from climate change\, fisheries and offshore energy extraction. We must shed light on these darkest areas of the ocean to safeguard their future. The context of the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement and the UN Ocean Decade provide powerful international frameworks within which to rally a global community of deep-ocean stewards. The deep-ocean science community has already been proactive and successful in engaging with the UN Ocean Decade  from the outset. This event gathers representatives of deep-ocean-focused Decade Actions to provide updates of their achievements\, followed by discussions with the audience to identify future opportunities to enhance engagement of the community across the Decade. This call halfway through the Decade for further scientific participation in the future of global ocean sustainability and policy comes at a critical time\, with momentum to generate much needed deep-ocean knowledge. \n \n\nModerators\n\nMaria Baker – University of Southampton\nEva Zoe Ramirez-Llodra – REV Ocean\n\n\n\nPresenters\n\nKirsty McQuaid – Nelson Mandela University\nFengping Wang – Shanghai JiaoTong University\nAdrian Martin – National Oceanography Centre Southampton\nLeslie M Smith – Your Ocean Consulting\, LLC\nLouise Allcock – University of Galway\nAlison Wale – Uu-a-thluk\, Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council

SUMMARY:UNOC3: DOSI Blue Zone Side Event
DESCRIPTION:UNOC3 DOSI Blue Zone Side Event\n \nTitle: Safeguarding Deep-Sea Biodiversity and the Climate: Integrating Science and Policy for a Sustainable Future\nSession ID: 123\nDate: Friday 13 June 2025\nTime: 10:30-11:45 am\nVenue: Room 3 \nPanel:\n• Annette Gibbons – DFO Deputy Minister\, Canada\n• Arnoldo André Tinoco – Minister of Foreign Affairs & Culture\, Costa Rica\n• Vidar Helgesen – Executive Secretary IOC-UNESCO\n• Grethel Aguilar – Director General IUCN\n• Anna Metaxas and Lisa Levin – Deep-sea scientists \nModerator:\n• Christine Gaebel – BBNJ expert \nAdditional partners/experts in audience:\n• Representatives/experts from AOSIS\, Scripps\, MBARI\, OCP\, IPBES\, IPOS\, science. \nAbstract:  The deep ocean contains over 90 percent of the living space for life on Earth\, and the remarkable diversity and collective actions of its inhabitants are critical for human and planetary well-being. While it can seem remote and unchanging\, deep-sea biodiversity faces clear and increasing threats from human activities such as deep-sea mining\, fishing\, pollution\, and proposed ocean-based climate change mitigation options\, as well as from climate change itself. To ensure ocean ecosystems can continue to support a liveable planet\, biodiversity\, climate and sustainability goals must be aligned. This may require new and enhanced governance partnerships and policy solutions\, informed by impartial\, up-to-date ocean science. This is becoming especially important in light of the new challenges faced by the global science community and established governance structures. In this session\, a panel of deep-sea scientists and policy experts will shine a light on linkages between the many different ocean governance processes that can benefit from a greater understanding of how the deep ocean works.  There is a growing recognition that  joined-up thinking is required at the nexus of biodiversity\, climate\, food\, health and water\, to ensure effective and sustainable management across sectors\, supported by robust international laws. A new and unprecedented level of science and policy diplomacy will be required for success.
