Conference Theme: Resilient Coasts: Adapting Today to Secure Tomorrow Register Now The UN Endorses OCEANS 2022 Hampton Roads On 5 December 2017, the United Nations proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, to be held from 2021 to 2030. This Decade will provide a common framework to ensure that ocean science can fully support countries’ actions to sustainably manage the Oceans and more particularly to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The OCEANS conferences cover this decade and will be supporting the Decade of Ocean Science by providing a continuing international forum. This support begins with the OCEANS 2022 Hampton Roads conference, which has been endorsed by the UN. Honorary Chairs Dr. Martin Irvine Executive Director, Submarine Forces John Broderick Past President, Old Dominion University Keynotes Dr. Tom Drake Department Head, Ocean Battlespace Sensing Office of Naval Research Dr. Peter Adair Technical Director, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division Dr. Carol Anne Clayson Senior Scientist of Physical Oceanography, WHOI View Full Lineup of OCEANS 2022 Keynotes Explore and Discover Hampton Roads Approximately 130 miles to the southeast of Washington DC, Hampton Roads has a population of 1.7 million citizens living in 17 jurisdictions and 7 major municipalities (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News and Suffolk). Hampton Roads, the world’s greatest natural harbor, is located only 18 miles (29 km) from open ocean on one of the world’s deepest, natural ice-free harbors. Since 1989, Hampton Roads has been the mid-Atlantic leader in U.S. waterborne foreign commerce and is ranked second nationally behind the Port of South Louisiana based on export tonnage. When import and export tonnage are combined, the Port of Hampton Roads ranks as the third largest port in the country (following the ports of New Orleans/South Louisiana and Houston). Almost 80% of the region’s economy is derived from federal sources. This includes the large military presence highlighted by the largest Navy base in the world, but also NASA and facilities of the Departments of Energy, Transportation, Commerce and Veterans Affairs. The region also receives a substantial impact in government student loans and grants, university research grants, and federal aid to cities.
