Ocean Policy Council
An Ocean Policy Council is a government or organizational group responsible for coordinating and overseeing decisions related to ocean health, conservation, and sustainable use. They develop strategies to protect marine environments, manage resources like fisheries and shipping, and address issues such as pollution and climate change impacts. The council often includes experts and stakeholders to ensure policies are balanced, science-based, and effective in maintaining healthy oceans for future generations. Their goal is to promote responsible stewardship of marine ecosystems while supporting economic activities that rely on ocean resources.
