🧭 Moderated by Myriam SEURAT, weather and climate journalist at France Télévisions (France)
Scientists explain how the "digital ocean" integrates ocean models and observations to monitor and predict the ocean from the open sea to the coast in support of ocean governance and a sustainable blue economy. Digital ocean applications and benefits expected in different parts of the world is discussed in the context of the UN Decade for Ocean Science and sustainable development.

Changes in the ocean: let’s move from evidence to communication!
🗓️ Saturday, June 7
🧭 Moderated by Helga VAN LEUR, Meteorologist & Ambassador of Climate, Sustainability and Behaviour (The Netherlands)
In this engaging session, scientists and weather and climate journalists share evidence of changes ongoing in the ocean due to climate change and other human pressure, and discuss how key messages from the science community illustrated by digital ocean indicators and observations could be used for media communication on “ocean and climate change” and impacts of ocean changes on people and marine ecosystems.
