“我们的海洋”会议始于国务部的一项倡议，旨在吸引国际社会关注海洋对我们的经济、我们的食品安全和我们的健康的重要性，以及开展合作、采取具体行动来支持可持续利用我们的海洋及其资源的必要性。

来自商界、科技界、政府、非政府组织和资助者的代表有望发表重要承诺，以支持健康、富饶的海洋和可持续的蓝色经济。

在今年的会议上，美国的首要任务包括：促进政府、企业和其他伙伴之间的合作来为海洋面临的挑战创造创新的解决方案；处理非法、未报告和无管制（IUU）的捕捞活动；促进可持续的蓝色经济和海上安全。

The Our Ocean conference began as a Department of State initiative to draw international attention to the importance of the ocean for our economies, our food security, and our health—as well as the need for collaboration and concrete action to support sustainable use of our ocean and its resources.  

Representatives from the business community, the science and technology community, governments, nongovernmental organizations, and funders are expected to announce major commitments to support a healthy and productive ocean and a sustainable blue economy.  

Top priorities for the United States at this year’s conference include fostering collaboration among government, business, and other partners to create innovative solutions for the challenges facing the ocean; tackling illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and promoting a sustainable blue economy and maritime security.
