The deep ocean is growing in importance on multiple fronts: as a mitigator and indicator of climate change and as a source of food, energy, and raw materials. These services create a growing imperative to bring together the expertise required to advance our understanding of, and maintain the functioning and services of the deep ocean. Critical to this effort is the challenge of sustainably observing and managing the deep ocean.

Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative

The Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) seeks to integrate science, technology, policy, law and economics to advise on ecosystem-based management of resource use in the deep ocean and strategies to maintain the integrity of deep-ocean ecosystems within and beyond national jurisdiction.
