relevant stakeholders. It is critical therefore to continue to raise awareness of the
problems facing oceans to a broader range of stakeholders and to promote individual
and community stewardship of the oceans. In this regard, human and socioeconomic factors must be placed at the forefront, including through capacitybuilding. To achieve our common objectives, as well as the commitments in SDG
14 and other ocean-related SDGs, the full and effective implementation of the legal
framework for oceans in the Convention and related instruments at the global,
regional and national levels is crucial.
