The ocean is central to the health of the planet and the well-being
of human societies, but ongoing depletion, disruption, and
pollution threaten its future. The United Nations proclaimed
2021-2030 the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development
(UN Ocean Decade) in recognition of the need to sustainably manage
the Ocean. U.S. participation in the Decade, guided by the U.S.
National Committee, included a call for "Ocean-Shots" - ambitious,
transformational research concepts that draw from multiple
disciplines. More than 100 Ocean-Shots were submitted. Conducted at
the request of the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy and sponsored by NASA, this report identifies exciting
themes from the Ocean-Shots that will galvanize action and inspire
transformative, cross-disciplinary, and multi-generational
participation in the Decade. Two foundational themes undergird how
to go about science: An Inclusive and Equitable Ocean calls for the
involvement of a diverse and representative ocean community, and An
Ocean of Data recognizes the shift toward open access for data that
is collected. Four topical themes - The Ocean Revealed, The
Restored and Sustainable Ocean, Ocean Solutions for Climate
Resilience, and Healthy Urban Sea - represent promising areas for
research investments that are consistent both with the UN Ocean
Decade Outcomes and U.S. ocean priorities.
