The 11th Our Ocean Conference (OOC11) in Mombasa, Kenya, convened international delegates and local stakeholders to address the accelerating warming of global oceans and the subsequent necessity for integrated governance and inclusive conservation strategies.

在肯亞蒙巴薩舉行的第 11 屆「我們的海洋」會議 (OOC11)，召集了國際代表與本地利益相關者，共同探討全球海洋暖化加速的問題，以及隨之而來對綜合治理與包容性保育策略的需求。

The scientific consensus indicates that anthropogenic warming has propelled ocean heat content to record levels in 2025, precipitating a critical destabilization of marine ecosystems. This thermal escalation has resulted in the bleaching and degradation of over 80% of warm-water coral reefs and the disruption of global food chains. Such environmental shifts are projected to exacerbate coastal flooding, intensify storm activity, and catalyze forced migrations and systemic instability.

科學共識指出，人為暖化導致 2025 年的海洋熱含量達到紀錄高位，促使海洋生態系統出現嚴重的失衡。這種熱能增加導致超過 80% 的暖水珊瑚礁白化與退化，並擾亂了全球食物鏈。預計此類環境轉變將加劇沿海淹水、強化風暴活動，並觸發強制遷徙與系統性不穩定。

Institutional responses are increasingly centered on the 'blue economy' framework. Valerie Hickey of the World Bank noted a significant expansion in ocean-related finance, citing a rise in blue bond issuances from under $3 billion to over $18 billion. This capital influx is attributed to enhanced data verification, a robust pipeline of investable projects, and the emergence of international frameworks such as the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) agreement. Furthermore, nature-based solutions, specifically the utilization of mangroves and seagrasses for carbon sequestration and coastal defense, are being prioritized over traditional concrete infrastructure.

機構回應日益集中於「藍色經濟」框架。世界銀行的 Valerie Hickey 指出，海洋相關金融規模顯著擴張，藍色債券發行額從不足 30 億美元增加至超過 180 億美元。資金湧入歸因於數據驗證的提升、可投資項目的充裕，以及如《國家管轄範圍以外生物多樣性》(BBNJ) 協議等國際框架的出現。此外，基於自然的解決方案，特別是利用紅樹林與海草進行碳匯與沿海防禦，正被優先考慮於傳統的混凝土基礎設施之上。

Diplomatic efforts are shifting toward the implementation phase of ocean-climate action. Dr. Marinez Scherer and Fatih Turan emphasized that the ocean agenda is no longer peripheral but central to the UNFCCC process and the upcoming COP31 in Antalya. Norway has exemplified this strategic shift by integrating offshore wind expansion, carbon capture, and green shipping into its national climate strategy, asserting that ocean-based solutions could provide up to 35% of the annual emission reductions required to maintain the 1.5°C threshold.

外交努力正轉向海洋氣候行動的執行階段。Dr. Marinez Scherer 與 Fatih Turan 強調，海洋議程不再是邊緣議題，而是 UNFCCC 過程及即將在安塔利亞舉行的 COP31 的核心。挪威透過將離岸風電擴張、碳捕捉與綠色航運納入國家氣候策略，體現了此策略轉移，並聲稱海洋解決方案可提供高達 35% 的年度減排量，以維持 1.5°C 的溫控閾值。

Parallel to high-level diplomacy, there is a documented demand for the inclusion of marginalized stakeholders. Representatives from coastal Kenya, Senegal, Ghana, and Liberia highlighted the systemic exclusion of small-scale fishers and women from decision-making processes. These actors argue that while they provide essential stewardship of blue carbon habitats and maintain food security, they face disproportionate legal pressures compared to industrial entities. The establishment of networks, such as the African Women Fish Processors and Treated Fish Network, reflects an institutional effort to secure formal representation and economic autonomy within the fisheries sector.

與高層外交平行，有記錄顯示需要納入邊緣化的利益相關者。來自肯亞沿海、塞內加爾、加納與賴比里亞的代表強調，小規模漁民與女性在決策過程中遭到系統性排除。這些參與者主張，雖然他們對藍色碳棲息地提供了必要的管理並維持糧食安全，但與工業實體相比，他們面臨不對稱的法律壓力。如「非洲女性魚類加工與處理網絡」等網絡的成立，反映了機構致力於確保漁業部門內擁有正式代表權與經濟自主權。

The current state of the global ocean is characterized by critical thermal stress and systemic ecological decline, necessitating a transition from theoretical commitment to coordinated, inclusive, and financed implementation.

目前全球海洋的狀態以嚴重的熱壓力與系統性生態衰退為特徵，必須從理論承諾轉向協調、包容且有資金支持的執行階段。
