Sessions throughout the day will include a video on “Our Underwater World,” with an original composition by Nitin Sawhney and narration by Jean-Michael Cousteau, “Faces of the Sea,” presented by Céline Semaan, “Oceanic Discoveries,” presented by actress Nathalie Kelley, “The Ocean Connecting Us Daily” presented by Actress Amanda Cerny, “Blue Economy and Private Sector Impact” moderated by The Economist’s Martin Koehring, “Our Changing Oceans” featuring science communicator Danni Washington, a panel hosted by the UN Oceans and more. UNWOD 2021 will start with opening remarks by the United Nations Secretary-General, followed by messages from the President of the General Assembly. The event will convene scientists, explorers, experts, and coastal communities from around the world to deepen our understanding of the ocean, explore our connection to it, and discuss the need for building a new balance with the ocean that is inclusive, innovative and informed by those who depend on the it, as well as by lessons from the past. The 2021 United Nations World Oceans Day theme The Ocean: Live and Livelihoods sheds light on the wonder of the ocean and how it is our lifesource, supporting humanity and every other organism on Earth. Yet, over the course of the pandemic, the world saw more clearly than ever, just how reliant on the ocean we collectively are. Since its inception in 2008, UN World Oceans Day has celebrated the ocean and its importance to our planet and our lives. Humanity’s interconnectivity to the ocean is core to our identities, cultures, and ways of life. The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, is home to most of earth’s biodiversity, nourishes billions of people and employs millions worldwide. This year’s celebration will again be open to the world by live stream from 10:00AM-5:00PM (EDT) on the United Nations World Oceans Day website ( with the content reshared on the social channels While traditionally an in-person event at the UN Headquarters, due to COVID-19, UNWOD became fully virtual and open-to-the-public for the first time in 2020. Produced in partnership with the non-profit organization Oceanic Global, presented by Blancpain and supported by La Mer, United Nations World Oceans Day 2021 (UNWOD) will be a day-long event featuring keynote speeches, panels, and presentations kicked off by the United Nations Secretary-General and the President of the General Assembly, with leading voices including: Sylvia Earle, Gael Garcia Bernal, Jean-Michael Cousteau, Alessandra Ambrosio, Sam Waterston, Nathalie Kelley, Danni Washington, Dona Bertarelli, Céline Semaan, Amanda Cerny, and more. On Tuesday 8 June, the United Nations will launch its second-ever fully digital rendition of its annual World Oceans Day event in celebration of its 2021 theme, The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods.

Speakers including the United Nations Secretary-General, Dr. Additionally, making autonomous sailboats more powerful platforms can facilitate marine science research, such as research on ecosystems, biogeochemistry, and meteorology.PRESS RELEASE THE UNITED NATIONS TO HOST SECOND-ANNUAL VIRTUAL WORLD OCEANS DAY EVENT (8 JUNE) EVENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OCEANIC GLOBAL This article can provide references for designers of autonomous sailboats and inspire the community to eliminate the limitations they are facing. We finally describe how the autonomous sailboat community should best address these challenges with technology from other disciplines.
We then identify factors that hinder further performance improvement of autonomous sailboats through statistics and analysis of existing designs. This paper first reviews and summarizes the existing designs from the perspective of critical performance in marine science missions, further pointing out the present state and the logic behind the designs. Some literature lists and reviews the various designs of the existing autonomous sailboats however, no comprehensive work connects the design to the performance requirements of various application scenarios. To date, dozens of distinctive autonomous sailboats have been designed and notably employed in numerous tasks. Autonomous sailboats are promising platforms for long-term marine science missions and have become a research area of increased interest over the last two decades.
