Nature is our first line of defense. Early warning is our first line of action.
As David Obura reminds us, the world's greatest accounting error has been treating nature as an unlimited resource instead of our greatest asset. Investing in Ocean Early Warning Systems is investing in people, ecosystems, and resilient coastal economies.
Every timely alert saves lives. Every protected reef, mangrove, and coastline strengthens our natural defenses against storms, floods, and climate extremes.
Ocean Decade Challenge 6 calls on us to build resilient communities through accessible, science-based early warning systems that leave no one behind.
Protect Nature. Predict Hazards. Empower Communities. Build Resilience.
