联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年(海洋十年)挑战海洋科学，在保护海洋生态系统的同时，更好地宣传和刺激社会和经济发展。为了实现这些目标，我们必须使我们的各种方法更具可比性和互操作性，扩大全球参与，并通过制定最佳做法的新的协调一致的办法促进海洋科学方面的能力发展。我们介绍了从教科文组织政府间海洋学委员会(IOC)海洋最佳做法系统(OBPS)的持续发展中收集到的关于这一问题的观点。OBPS正在与世界各地的个人和项目合作，改变海洋方法的管理方式，与海洋十年所设想的成果保持高度一致。然而，仍然存在重大挑战，包括：(1)在方法的整个生命周期中对方法的随意管理，(2)对什么是“最佳”的模棱两可的认可，以及一种方法与另一种方法何时何地适用的模糊认可，以及(3)跨学科和文化获得方法知识的不一致。为了帮助应对这些挑战，我们建议海洋科学和教育领域的赞助者和领导人促进一致的文件记录和方法趋同，以：创建和改进依赖背景的最佳做法；将切合实际的最佳做法纳入海洋十年行动；澄清谁赞同哪种方法以及为什么；创建一个海洋做法互补系统的全球网络；并确保国际能力发展方面更广泛的一致性和灵活性。
The UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) challenges marine science to better inform and stimulate social and economic development while conserving marine ecosystems. To achieve these objectives, we must make our diverse methodologies more comparable and interoperable, expanding global participation and foster capacity development in ocean science through a new and coherent approach to best practice development. We present perspectives on this issue gleaned from the ongoing development of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS). The OBPS is collaborating with individuals and programs around the world to transform the way ocean methodologies are managed, in strong alignment with the outcomes envisioned for the Ocean Decade. However, significant challenges remain, including: (1) the haphazard management of methodologies across their lifecycle, (2) the ambiguous endorsement of what is "best" and when and where one method may be applicable vs. another, and (3) the inconsistent access to methodological knowledge across disciplines and cultures. To help address these challenges, we recommend that sponsors and leaders in ocean science and education promote consistent documentation and convergence of methodologies to: create and improve context-dependent best practices; incorporate contextualized best practices into Ocean Decade Actions; clarify who endorses which method and why; create a global network of complementary ocean practices systems; and ensure broader consistency and flexibility in international capacity development.
