Abstract GEOTRACES (https://www.geotraces.org/) is an international marine chemical program involving scientists from more than 35 countries collaborating together since 2010 in building an online atlas and open access database of high-quality hydrographical and geochemical data, under the name of GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product. By freely releasing its data, GEOTRACES wishes to strengthen and intensify the collaboration within the marine research community itself, but also wants to invite other ocean professionals to use the data for their research and professional activities. The data product includes chemical elements that are essential for marine life, both macro- and micronutrients, contaminants, radioactive and stable isotopes used to reconstruct ocean conditions in the past, accompanied by a broad suite of hydrographic parameters and biological data.Anticipated beneficiaries of GEOTRACES products include scientists studying the sustained health of marine ecosystems and their sensitivity to changes in their chemical environment; paleoceanographers seeking to reconstruct past changes in the ocean environment; and scientists and policymakers who seek a better understanding of the transport and fate of contaminants in the ocean. In addition, GEOTRACES data provide a baseline against which future changes can be assessed, as for example, the impact of deep sea seabed mineral extraction.

Abstract The Odyssey Project coordinated by OceanOPS, joint center of the World Meteorological Organization and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, will support and involve civil society, including citizens, sailors, businesses, etc., in observing the ocean and the atmosphere above it to contribute to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) implementation.As the global population is set to reach more than 9 billion people by 2050, impacts on the ocean associated with human activities will escalate. Understanding the variability and trends of the ocean and the related impacts on our society, through sustained oceanographic and marine meteorological observations and ocean science, is essential to predict the consequences of change, guide mitigation, and design adaptation for the benefit of the nature and humankind.The Odyssey project embodies the level of response we need to face climate issues and will help strengthen collaborations within and outside the global ocean observing community. These collaborations, based on the met-ocean observations' collection, data sharing and analyses, scientific and technological developments, will be essential to develop such a project.

Abstract Since the 1950s, there has been an increase of women participating in ocean-going science. However, the number of women scientists in the field remains significantly less than that of men, especially in senior roles. In this commentary, we take a feminist perspective to understand the challenges women face in pursuing a career in ocean-going science. Based on the limited literature and reports of women in ocean-going research, we identified several cultural and structural barriers and constraints faced by women. These fell into four main categories: (1) behavioral/social norms and gender-biased culture in science and at sea; (2) failure to provide for balancing duties of family care with extended periods away from home; (3) gender-insensitive design of ship facilities, operations, and personal protective equipment (PPE); and (4) the need for a safe working environment at sea; i.e., gender-related aspects of health, safety, and personal security at sea. To overcome these barriers, the following interventions are suggested: (1) greater awareness raising and training to shift destructive mindsets as well as affecting behavioral and cultural change; (2) consideration of gender-sensitive design and safe operation of research vessels; and (3) more comprehensive and effective implementation of gender equality policies for research at sea.

Abstract People depend on biodiversity—the heart of healthy ecosystems—in many ways and every day of our lives. Yet usable knowledge of marine life is a missing link in the way we have designed marine observing and information systems. We lack critical biodiversity information to inform sustainable development from local levels to global scales—information on Essential Ocean Variables such as how many types and how much plankton, seagrasses, macro-algae, mangroves, corals and other invertebrates, fish, turtles, birds, and mammals are in any location at any one time, the value we may derive from that combination of organisms, and how this is changing with time and why. Marine Life 2030 is a program endorsed by the Ocean Decade to develop a coordinated system to deliver such actionable, transdisciplinary knowledge of ocean life to those who need it, promoting human well-being, sustainable development, and ocean conservation. Marine Life 2030 is an open network that invites partners to join us with ideas and energy to connect communities, programs, and sectors into a global, interoperable network, transforming the observation and forecasting of marine life for the future and for the benefit of all people.

Abstract The Estuarine Ecological Knowledge Network (EEKN) brings together scientists and coastal fishing communities in seeking new ways forward for Earth's major river deltas and estuaries, including the Mississippi (United States), Rio Grande (United States), Danube (Romania/Ukraine), Ganges (India/Bangladesh), Niger (Nigeria), and Mekong (Vietnam) river deltas, and the Patos Lagoon (Brazil). Such environments are universally understood as crucial for the biological productivity of oceans and they are home to hundreds of millions of human inhabitants, many of whom directly depend on that marine richness in terms of the operation of their socioeconomic systems. As human-induced climate change and its consequences for Earth's oceans and coastlines increases, estuarine ecosystems are particularly threatened by problems such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and increased impacts from tropical storms. These problems are often amplified by human dynamics of environmental degradation, including overfishing, pollution, and large-scale landscape modification projects. The EEKN is designed to enhance communication and cooperation between fishing communities, scientists, and policy makers in learning about the complexity of both ecological and socioeconomic systems in estuaries and deltas, and in developing more effective policy for managing fisheries, protecting and restoring coastlines, and increasing the resilience of coastal communities.

Abstract The Nippon Foundation-General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) Seabed 2030 Project is a collaboration between The Nippon Foundation, Japan's largest private philanthropic organization, and the GEBCO, which has more than a century of experience in ocean-floor mapping and is jointly administered by the International Hydrographic Organization and UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. Its mission is to create a comprehensive, publicly available map of the entire ocean floor by 2030, which will empower the world to make informed policy decisions, use the ocean sustainably, and undertake scientific research based on detailed bathymetric information. Knowing the shape of the seabed is critical to understanding ocean circulation patterns and their associated impact on climate and weather, wave action, tsunami wave propagation, improving species distribution models, supporting the management of fisheries and marine-protected areas, and identifying underwater geohazards. This knowledge is essential to achieving the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development societal outcomes. With only 8 years left to map the remaining 80% of the ocean, it can be achieved but will require the support and mobilization of the global community.

Abstract Estuaries are vital habitats that allow life to exist in the oceans. Because of their role as nurseries for various ocean animals, they are sometimes referred to as the "cradle of the sea." They are among the most vulnerable habitats due to their reliance on salt‐freshwater balance, as any imbalances have a significant impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Climate change, urbanization, and water diversion for various uses result in less optimal freshwater and increased sediments into the estuary and ocean, as well as saltwater intrusion high up estuaries, all of which have negative consequences for estuary functioning and the ecosystem services they provide to the ocean and humanity as a whole. During the Ocean Decade (2021‐2030), the School of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Technology (SoAF), University of Dar es Salaam intends to investigate the extent to which the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region's estuaries have been impacted by anthropogenic activities and climate change in order to develop feasible recommendations for their protection. This program is endorsed as Ocean Decade Project Number 45.

Abstract The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion (MBSD) project, located in Barataria Bay, Southeast Louisiana, is one of the most ambitious coastal restoration projects in U.S. history. The MBSD project is designed to convey sediment-rich water from the Mississippi River through the levee system and into the coastal marshes of the Barataria basin. The MBSD project is intended to slow, and perhaps even reverse, coastal erosion through alluvial sedimentation and the augmentation of freshwater wetland vegetation communities. In spite of the importance of the MBSD project for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana, it is extremely unpopular among coastal communities along the Barataria Bay coast and beyond. Based on our ethnographic research in Lower Plaquemines Parish, we provide some insights concerning why this level of opposition exists. Above all, the MBSD project is perceived as highly threatening to key marine fish species targeted by small-scale commercial fishers, especially shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus and Litopenaeus setiferus) and oysters (Crassostrea virginica). Small-scale fishing is crucially important to the social and economic systems involved in risk buffering and community resilience, as well as a key feature of social identity and source of profound place attachment. While planning for the MBSD project has considered impacts to coastal communities in strictly financial and environmental terms, it has failed to adequately consider its potential social and social-psychological consequences among coastal communities.

Abstract Maritime and underwater cultural heritage (MUCH) is concerned with the relationship between people and the marine and coastal environment over time. Rooted in the past, MUCH is a resource that can help us understand and appreciate our current situation. But MUCH is also a medium through which we address the future to develop resilience and motivate adaptation. MUCH is both a source of inspiration and of evidence: to study and understand it requires and develops interdisciplinary skills across the social sciences, STEM, and SHAPE subjects.The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021‐2030, in promoting a common framework for supporting stakeholders in studying the world's oceans, presents a vital opportunity to improve the integration of MUCH within the marine sciences. The Ocean Decade Heritage Network's Decade Action, the Cultural Heritage Framework Programme, focuses on ensuring that MUCH specialists—archaeologists and cultural heritage managers—can engage constructively with the marine sciences under the auspices of the Ocean Decade, and make the best of the opportunity that the Ocean Decade presents in addressing present and future challenges facing the world's oceans.

Abstract The Ocean Decade is a critical chance to move toward a sustainable and equitable ocean. Realizing this vision requires that we all recognize inequities, learn from failure, listen to the diverse voices of people who rely on the ocean for their lives and livelihoods, and value their expertise.
