The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK, will host the first International Ocean Stewardship Forum from 17-18 June 2008, with the aim of facilitating the effective integration of marine science, policy and law within ocean governance.

World-leading experts in these disciplines together with principal users of ocean space represented by governments, industry and academia, will meet to assess the development of a sustainable operational strategy for marine policy.
In just two days, delegates will have an opportunity to attend keynote presentations from internationally recognized authorities addressing current and emerging issues facing the marine community; join a series of structured working/discussion groups; and participate in user-driven presentation sessions where representatives of the community express their contributions, needs, challenges and offer solutions. Coupled with this formal side, there will be ample opportunity to take advantage of more focused discussion at working lunches, refreshment periods and break-out sessions.
