It waas hosted by and for early career ocean professionals from around the world and from a variety of ocean disciplines to showcase their work, activities, and contributions to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
The UN Ocean Decade is a once-in-a-generation opportunity and the first global campaign to catalyze transformative ocean science solutions for sustainable development. V.ECOP Day will follow immediately from the 1st International Conference of the UN Ocean Decade for Sustainable Development beginning at approximately 13:00 UTC on June 1, 2021.
V.ECOP Day was organized by the German Marine Research Consortium in cooperation with the ECOP Program and is supported by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the European Commission, IOC-UNESCO, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and ESRI Deutschland as an officially endorsed UN Ocean Decade Activity.
V.ECOP Day followed a path covering all areas of our blue planet as shown in the map diagram below. With almost 200 contributions from young scientists and experts from around the world, the program covered many issues concerning human-ocean relations.
In UTC, the Timeslots begin as follows: TS1: 14:00 | TS2: 18:00 | TS3: 22:00 | TS4: 02:00 | TS5: 06:00 | TS6: 10:00

Time Slot 1
With over 80% of the ocean unexplored, the UN Ocean Decade is the time to dive into deep-sea discovery.
Time Slot 1
The UN Ocean Decade is an opportunity to enhance cooperation and coordination across sectors, disciplines, and regions, and ensure sustainable management of the global ocean.
Time Slot 2
The ocean is like a puppeteer; her influence reaches the farthest corners of the Earth, pulling the strings of every being, unseen and unhindered.
Time Slot 2
Raising awareness about preserving the ocean would be the finest way to offset the riches and wonders it has given us.
Time Slot 3
The ocean is the origin of life on our planet, features wonderful biodiversity, and is the regulator for our climate.
Time Slot 3
The ocean matters because it is responsible for keeping life in balance. From its physical conditions to complex ecological processes, the ocean is involved in the changes of the weather, food resources, and provides us with many services. For these reasons we need to understand how it works and how to protect it for future generations.
Hānau ka moana (Hawaiian for “the ocean was born”). I am kanaka (native Hawaiian), a descendant of the occupied nation of Hawaii. The mele (songs) and moolelo (stories) of my ancestors inform me that just like you and I, the ocean was born.
Time Slot 4
I come from Fiji, and represent the Pacific Islands. We share an integral bond with the Ocean and rely on it like a child relies on their mother. The Ocean is what gives us our identity, heritage, wellbeing and opportunities. Today our Mother Ocean is facing a lot of challenges and it is our turn to change things for the better!
Time Slot 5
Ocean means connection and balance. What we really need to have a better life.
Time Slot 5
It is in her depths that I find my true self and bliss.
Time Slot 6
Ocean matters, as it might become a Blue Phoenix.

A dirty drop for humans is a million organisms for the ocean, and yet it is never limited for more drops.
