Oceans cover the bulk of the Earth's surface. They provide vital environmental economic and social benefits to humanity, including food, marine biodiversity, carbon sinks, trade tourism and cultural identity to coastal communities.

Million of people around the Asia-Pacific region remain exposed to a higher frequency and intensity of natural hazards from locust swarms and earthquakes to cyclone and other exceptional events.
