De Langetermijnvisie Schelde-estuarium beoogt in het kader van de prioritaire functie toegankelijkheid van de Scheldehavens een optimalisatie van de werkgelegenheid in deze havens in relatie tot de andere functies die het Schelde-estuarium moet vervullen in 2030. De werkgelegenheid in de Scheldehavens drukt de sociaaleconomische betekenis van deze havens uit. Werkgelegenheid is van vitaal belang voor de welvaart van de bevolking nabij het Schelde-estuarium. De directe effecten van de werkgelegenheid verwijzen naar bedrijfstakken binnen of in de onmiddellijke omgeving van de havens, terwijl de indirecte effecten betrekking hebben op de werkgelegenheid die wordt gegenereerd bij respectievelijk in België of Nederland gevestigde toeleveranciers en onderaannemers van die bedrijfstakken. In de strategische (master)plannen leggen de Scheldehavens de beleidsopties vast voor het realiseren van een duurzame havenontwikkeling. De socio-economische rol van de havens speelt hierin een belangrijke rol. Het ontwerp Strategisch Masterplan van Zeeland Seaports (Vlissingen, Terneuzen) voor de periode 2009 – 2020 beoogt een groei van de havengerelateerde werkgelegenheid en toegevoegde waarde tot 2020 met 20%. Het concept strategisch plan voor de Gentse kanaalzone splitst de ontwikkeling van de haven in twee fasen. Indien een nieuwe zeesluis in Terneuzen kan worden gerealiseerd tegen 2018, wordt in de periode tot 2018 vooral gefocust op een kwalitatieve ontwikkeling van de maritieme trafieken, toegevoegde waarde of werkgelegenheid en wordt een meer ambitieuzere kwantitatieve groei voorzien na 2018. Het tussentijds strategisch plan van de haven van Antwerpen legt doelstellingen vast op basis van prognoses voor toegevoegde waarde en werkgelegenheid: voor de totale werkgelegenheid houdt men rekening met 137705 – 153.033 voltijdse equivalenten (VTE) in 2015 en 138.170 – 160.413 VTE in 2030.


GOSR2020 Ocean science human capacity
National numbers of ocean science researchers vary between <1 to >300 employees per million inhabitants -these ratios do not relate directly to GDP.
Female ocean scientists are increasingly talking to the world.Female participants account for 29% to 53% of total conference participants, depending on ocean science category and region.
Gender equality in ocean science is far from having been achieved but the challenge to reach it is realistic.
Female researchers account for 39% of global ocean scientists, 10% higher than the global share of female researchers in natural sciences.

GOSR2020
Ocean science human capacity

GOSR2020 Ocean science generates both knowledge and applications
Global ocean science outputs are continuously rising (with regional differences emerging).
Competitive ocean science is driven by international partnerships.
International collaboration results in a higher quality of work.

GOSR2020 Investments
There are large differences in countries' investment in ocean research.
On average, only 1.7% of national research budgets are allocated for ocean science, with percentages ranging from around 0.03% to 11.8%.This is a small proportion compared to the modestly estimated US$1.5 trillion contribution of the ocean to the global economy in 2010.

GOSR2020
Many countries lack a specific strategy to measure progress towards the achievement of SDG 14.

Ocean science in support of sustainable development and management of ocean resources
Of the 37 countries that responded to the related GOSR2020 question, over 70% have strategies and a roadmap to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda.However, only 21% reported that they have a specific strategy focusing on the ocean and SDG 14 From assessing the state of ocean science to ocean science in action

focusing on human and technical resources as well as SDG 14.a.1 and ocean science investment more general to be send to Member States 3rd quarter of 2022

Enhance the current level of funding for ocean science. II. Establish continuous collection of internationally comparable data on investments in ocean science. III. Facilitate co-design of ocean science by involving ocean science information users and producers . IV. Promote multistakeholder partnerships in ocean science and operationalize transfer of marine technology. V. Move towards ocean science capacity development with the equal participation of all countries, genders and ages, embracing local and indigenous knowledge.
