• Many of the critical issues creating impacts and affecting access and social license
are cross-cutting or cumulative
• Sustaining ocean health and productivity requires responsible use and
stewardship by all users
• Best efforts by a single company, or an entire industry sector, are not enough to
secure ocean health
• Ocean industries will benefit from collaboration with other sectors to create
synergies and economies of scale to address impacts and ensure access and social
license
• Need structure/process for leadership and collaboration
The Ocean Business Community Challenge
• Ocean industries require access and social license to use ocean space
and resources
