International Journal of Marine Science, 2024, Vol.14, No.2, 40-50 http://www.aquapublisher.com/index.php/ijms 44 2.2 Core goals and strategic priorities the “Ocean Decade” revolve around strengthening marine scientific research, promoting ocean health and sustainable management of marine resources. These goals include: improving understanding of marine ecosystems, enhancing ocean observation and data sharing capabilities, advancing the application of ocean science in policy development, and enhancing ocean science education and public awareness. To achieve these goals, the Ocean Decade sets several strategic priorities, including developing integrated ocean observing systems, supporting interdisciplinary ocean science research, promoting scientific and technological innovation, and strengthening international cooperation and partnerships (UNESCO, 2019). 2.3 The key role of scientific research and technological innovation Scientific research and technological innovation play a vital role in achieving the goals of the Ocean Decade. Scientific research can provide an in-depth understanding of the complexity of ocean systems, help us understand the causes and mechanisms of ocean changes, predict future change trends, and provide scientific basis for formulating effective management and protection measures. Technological innovation, such as advanced ocean observation equipment, data analysis tools, and model prediction systems, is the key to improving ocean research capabilities and achieving sustainable resource management (Guan et al., 2023). In addition , scientific and technological innovation also promotes the application of marine science, enabling research results to be transformed into practical solutions to support policy formulation and implementation. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science is a global initiative that aims to address the challenges of declining ocean health and promote sustainable development of the ocean through scientific research and technological innovation. The successful implementation of the plan requires broad participation and cooperation from the international community, including governments, scientific research institutions, non-governmental organizations, the private sector and the public. By working together, we can improve our understanding of the ocean, protect marine ecosystems, achieve sustainable use of marine resources, and leave a healthier, more productive and resilient ocean for future generations (Lubchenco et al., 2015). 3 Contributions to Scientific Research and Technological Innovation As global ocean health continues to face severe challenges, scientific research and technological innovation have become key forces in reversing this trend. Through in-depth scientific exploration and the application of cutting-edge technology, we can not only more accurately understand the operating mechanism of marine ecosystems, but also find more effective ways to protect and manage our marine resources. 3.1 Progress in scientific research The study of marine biodiversity has always been an important part of the field of marine science. In recent years, scientists have discovered a large number of previously unknown marine life species through various research programs and exploration activities. These new discoveries not only enrich our understanding of marine biodiversity, but also provide important scientific information for the protection of marine ecosystems. in accordance with. At the same time, genomic research on marine organisms has revealed the mechanisms by which marine organisms adapt to extreme environments, providing a new perspective for humans to utilize marine biological resources and protect marine biodiversity (Laffoley et al., 2019). Wunsch et al. (2020) pointed out that in the past fifty years, in the conceptual revolution of physical oceanography, the ocean has transformed from being regarded as a large-scale, extremely slowly changing fluid to a basically turbulent system , demonstrating the physical ocean The potential of combining marine acoustics and ocean acoustics technologies paves the way for the development of new and globally capable observing systems . Steen et al. (2020) compiled examples of analytical methods that have enabled transformational scientific progress in marine organic biogeochemistry since 2004 and predicted challenges and opportunities in the near future. In recent years, ocean engineering has made great progress, especially research related to geological environment and disasters (Guo et al., 2023). These advances have established bridges between different branches of marine science, promoted the development of interdisciplinary research, and provided scientific basis and technical support for the sustainable management of marine ecosystems.
