Report : Marine Biodiversity & Ocean Health Guidebook

This guidebook delivers actionable guidance to shipping stakeholders, drawing on best practices, scientific evidence, emerging policy, and case examples across a wide range of biodiversity issues, identifying gaps and opportunities to drive positive impact and improved ocean health.

The shipping industry and its value chains have a significant and growing impact on marine biodiversity and ocean health. While the industry has committed to full decarbonisation, climate change is only one of several environmental challenges that demand attention. Biodiversity loss and pollution deserve equal attention. There is a clear opportunity to align these solutions as the industry invests in a net-zero future for positive biodiversity outcomes and reduced pollution, where synergies are feasible.
