World Ocean Summit 13

Dates:

March 4, 2026

–March 5, 2026

Location:

Montreal, Canada

Description:

The 13th annual World Ocean Summit comes at a turning point: the High Seas Biodiversity Treaty (BBNJ) has been ratified, the WTO Fisheries Subsidies Agreement is going to reshape seafood supply chains, and new science warns we have breached the planetary boundary on ocean acidification. At the same time, major philanthropic and financial investments are flowing into the ocean economy. The question is no longer why act, but how. This summit will translate these global milestones into action for business, policy and finance.
