    The UN Ocean Decade has demonstrated its potential as a transformative platform for integrating traditional knowledge into ocean science and management.

    Capacity building and the transfer of marine technology (CB&TT) are key parts of negotiations at Intergovernmental Conferences on an international legally binding instrument regarding the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ).
