UNOC3, a Tide of Progress

Momentum through science, education, and partnership for the ocean we share

In June 2025, global leaders, scientists, and educators gathered in Nice for the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference. During the week, nineteen countries advanced the High Seas Treaty (BBNJ Agreement), marking important momentum in safeguarding the largest shared ecosystem on Earth.

OceanX helped bring science and education into the heart of these conversations. The OceanXplorer became a living laboratory for collaboration as partners came aboard to explore how knowledge can support a sustainable ocean future. In the UN Blue Zone, Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer Dr Vincent Pieribone emphasized that open data and shared scientific capability enable all nations to engage fully in ocean governance. In the UN Green Zone, he reached public audiences with why the ocean shapes climate, food security, and life on Earth. Nearby, the Deep Blue Pavilion, created with MBARI, Schmidt Ocean Institute, and WHOI, revealed the deep ocean through immersive storytelling rooted in science.

As the week unfolded, the vessel hosted dialogue, showcased technology, and strengthened partnerships that carry discovery into action. By year end, the Treaty reached the threshold for entry into force in 2026, proof that as collaboration grows, so does hope for a sustainable ocean future.
