Oil and gas industry majors BP and Shell have joined the growing number of leading companies from a range of ocean industries that are distinguishing themselves as members of the World Ocean Council (WOC).
“We are developing and implementing programs to address ocean stewardship challenges and opportunities facing the ocean business community”, Mr Holthus continued. “For example, the National Business Forum on Marine Spatial Planning will bring together ocean industries to collaborate and engage in the ocean planning efforts underway in the US, and ensure responsible economic activity continues to have its place”.
