The WESTPAC International Marine Science Conference has become the defining gathering for cross-sector ocean collaboration in the Western Pacific — connecting scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to drive better ocean management and informed decision-making for sustainable development.

Since 2021, the WESTPAC International Marine Science Conference serves as both the leading regional scientific conference and the UN Ocean Decade Regional Conference for the Western Pacific (2021–2030). This dual role drives region-wide collaboration and accelerates Decade Actions across the area.
