Mid-Year Momentum: Where We Are, Where We're Going
A few weeks ago I had the good fortune to join ocean leaders, innovators, and champions from across our community to participate in official programming and multiple side events to the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC). Reflecting on the conversations from that week, I’m struck by how powerfully it underscored both the urgency of global ocean challenges and the rising influence of the marine technology sector in addressing them. For MTS, our participation as a side event host and convenor wasn’t just a moment in time – it was a marker of how far we’ve come as a convener, amplifier, and catalyst within the ocean community.
