Focus Area 4
The mandate of Focus Group 4 is to provide a strategic vision, direction, and coordination for a programme of work that will transform our understanding of the interconnectivity and multiscale interactions of the health of the coastal ocean and human health (physical, mental and social well-being), from local to global scales. This should be considered under different climate change scenarios that will affect the oceans and, therefore, it will have an effect on these interactions.
Membership will be kept under review and may evolve/change as the core projects progress.
