Empowering Ocean Science: Achieving Regional Resilience and Cooperation

Join the 35th Anniversary International Marine Sciences Conference by Cesar Toro, Ph.D., exploring the opportunities of structured, codified knowledge and the autonomy of decision-making in science. Discover the significance of evolving institutions, international cooperation, and the promotion of regional networks. Learn about healthy ocean ecosystems, early warning systems, and climate change resiliency. Explore the importance of bridging gaps, empowering countries, and valuing ecosystem services for sustainable development. Embrace a regional solution through integrated ocean science and technology networks with multi-stakeholder participation. For more information, visit ioc.unesco.org/iocaribe.ioc-unesco.org.

Presentation Transcript

  1. IOCARIBE 35THAnniversary“International Marine Sciences Conference” Cesar TORO Ph.D.

  2. The opportunities of Science • Highly structured, codified knowledge: Playing the catch-up game. • Open, International • Common universal standards • Low investment – high returns • Know why vs Know how • Autonomy of decision making and policies

  3. Evolving Institutions • Distribution of Labor in Science: Universities, Government, Industry • International Cooperative Programs • Spatially distributed “Large-facilities” • Building consensus on research goals: (One planet. One project?) • Regional Networks • Networking and the Virtual Guild

  4. Different Focus and Time for Parties in Research J.Blaauwengraad (1999)

  5. Health & Energy

  6. 147 academic higher education institutions 796 Ocean Sciences programmes 313B.Sc. 298M.Sc. 185Ph.D. and 13 other graduated and post-graduate programs. However, 65% of that capacity is concentrated in only four countries.

  7. IOC HLOs Healthy ocean ecosystems and sustained ecosystem services Effective early warning systems and preparedness for tsunamis and other ocean-related hazards Increased resiliency to climate change and variability and enhanced safety, efficiency and effectiveness of all ocean-based activities through scientifically founded services, adaptation and mitigation strategies. Enhanced knowledge of emerging ocean science issues

  8. IOC HLOs vs Legal Instruments in the IOCARIBE Member States

  10. Progress on regional initiatives can vary considerably from one country to another as a result of the individual governance of the oceans in the country. National progress towards integrated management of the oceans is a very important factor, as are the capabilities and resources associated with marine management.

  11. Bridging the gap

  12. Bridging the gap

  13. Bridging the gap

  14. Empowering countries Regional cooperation, coordination and data sharing Valuation of Ecosystems Goods and Services Win-win encounters with the private sector Internalizing the cost of sustainability No fit for all Regional Solution

  15. Regional Solution • Integrated Ocean Science and Technology network for the Region • Regional Institutions • Long-term (5-10 years plan) • Multi-stakeholder participation • Regional Governance
