THE OCEAN AND DEVELOPMENT The ocean is the foundation of life on Earth. Covering more than 70% of the planet’s surface, the ocean regulates theclimate, produces half of the oxygen we breathe, and drives global weather patterns. The ocean is also one of our mostpowerful engines of economic growth and human wellbeing. Fisheries alone support the livelihoods for more than 600million people, generating an estimated USD 2.6 trillion in direct value each year, and providing essential food andnutrition around the globe. The ocean also contributes as much as $50 trillion in indirect values annually. For many coastal and island nations, the ocean is not a distant frontier; it is home, economy, culture, and sustenance. Small-scale fisheries provide food security and employment to millions. Marine and coastal tourism account for a major share ofGross Domestic Product (GDP) in Small Island Developing Stat
