One Planet – One Ocean:
From Science to Solutions

Is the ocean the real final frontier? Humans have a greater understanding of
the surface of the moon than they do of the depths of our ocean. But what we
know of the ocean proves it hosts a wealth of opportunity – connecting the
world; supporting important and basic economic, cultural and environmental
functions – despite being under significant threat. Stressed by unsustainable
lifestyles and the increasing demands of a growing global population, how do we
become good stewards of this massive natural resource?
In
the massive open online course One Planet – One Ocean: From Science to
Solutions, learn from the world's leading experts on ocean science. They will
present the issues and potential solutions – grounded in rigorous scientific
research – to fight for our endangered waters.
The Ocean encircles the globe, forming the largest interconnected ecosystem on earth. It provides a huge range of services on which we rely; food, energy, transportation, environmental resilience, but also immaterial benefits such as beauty, cultural identity and recreation that enhance our sense of well-being. The pivotal role of the ocean in stabilizing climate, enabling a just distribution of economic prosperity and allowing for sustainable management and good governance of human activities is recognized in Goal 14 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that focuses on the Ocean.
This Massive Open Online Course provides you a knowledge base that brings to you to the science and fascination of the ocean. Marine scientists team with economists, lawyers and philosophers to bring you a holistic view of how the ocean functions, how human interactions with the ocean can be understood, and what solutions are available to support both sustainable use and stewardship of our blue planet.
