Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Monday that he will host a global conference in mid-June focused on addressing three major threats to the sea — overfishing, marine pollution and ocean acidification.

The “Our Ocean” meeting — which will bring together a mix of senior government officials, scientists, industry representatives, environmentalists and foundations from more than 80 countries to Washington on June 16 and 17 — aims to heighten the importance of marine issues in formulating foreign policy.
