Abstract
The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development presents an exceptional opportunity to effect positive change in ocean use. We outline what is required of the deep-sea research community to achieve these ambitious objectives.The roadmap for this Ocean Decade recognizes the deep sea as a frontier of science and discovery, and calls for research to advance understanding of deep-sea ecosystems, their functions, vulnerabilities and services to society.
