As a member of the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, Australia’s Prime Minister has committed Australia to developing our first Sustainable Ocean Plan. The plan will set a shared vision for our ocean to 2040 and identify the actions we need to take nationally to protect the ocean and to grow our ocean economy sustainably into the future.

This presentation will provide an overview of the process of developing the plan to date, outline a set of national priorities and proposed actions that have been identified through extensive consultation around the country, and explore opportunities for implementation into the future.
