The ocean, which regulates climate and supports vital ecosystem services, is crucial to our Earth system and livelihoods. Yet, it is threatened by anthropogenic pressures and climate change. A healthy ocean that supports a sustainable ocean economy requires adequate financing vehicles that generate, invest, align, and account for financial capital to achieve sustained ocean health and governance. However, the current finance gap is large; we identify key barriers to financing a sustainable ocean economy and suggest how to mitigate them, to incentivize the kind of public and private investments needed for topnotch science and management in support of a sustainable ocean economy.
海洋调节气候并支持重要的生态系统服务，对我们的地球系统和生计至关重要。然而，它受到人为压力和气候变化的威胁。一个支持可持续海洋经济的健康海洋需要充足的融资工具，这些工具可以产生、投资、协调和核算金融资本，以实现海洋健康和治理的可持续性。然而，目前的资金缺口很大；我们确定了为可持续海洋经济提供资金的主要障碍，并提出了如何减轻这些障碍的建议，以激励为支持可持续海洋经济所需的一流科学和管理提供所需的公共和私人投资。
