1 Mel Austen Sea and Society (Socio-economics, Environment and Human Health, Resource management and support) Integrate evidence from natural and social sciences to: Understand the consequences and benefits of the interactions between society and the marine environment, Improve the outcomes and benefits, Support sustainable and responsible ocean stewardship.

2 GCRF Blue Communities Building capability for marine planning in SE Asia: because actively, well-managed marine ecosystems are better able to support the health, wellbeing, food security and livelihoods of people

13 National State of Oceans and Coasts (SOC) Panel discussion: 1. What are the ways to further develop and mainstream the ocean economic-environment accounts? 2. How do we increase public visibility of the contributions of the ocean economy and ecosystem services, and make a difference in government and business sectors? 3. How can the SOC reports be optimized for influencing policy and practice in ocean and coastal management, and promoting blue economy development?
