Bringing it all together

The Sustainable Seas Challenge has produced nearly a decade’s worth of research results, guidance, and tools from more than 100 projects.

In our final year, we’ve focused on synthesising this knowledge into accessible outputs that will lead to action and support continued efforts toward the Challenge vision. This synthesis brings together key messages and recommendations from our journey and provides knowledge generated in a format intended to enable its uptake, application, and further development.
