This high-level body has offered some valuable suggestions that support Secretary Kerry’s Action Plan that emerged from the Our Ocean Conference, particularly relating to ending overfishing, cracking down on illegal fishing, and reducing marine pollution. The United States also agrees with the Global Ocean Commission on the need for a “stand-alone” Sustainable Development Goal for the ocean. We appreciate the work of the Global Ocean Commission and look forward to working with the many partners involved in efforts to protect the ocean.
