Previously, Indroyono Soesilo, the Secretary General of WOC's National Committee said that Google Ocean would facilitate people to study ocean whose data remained hard to access.

Tony Haymet, the Director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Vice Chancellor of Marine Science from University of California, San Diego, said that with a strong action and technology help, oceans could be saved.

"I am not saying that people have damaged the oceans, but what they did impacts on the ocean. That's why people have to save them," he said.

The United States of America would use the WOC to conduct various dialogs and activities related to saving the ocean. However, the country did not pledge for fund commitment for the summit.

"We hope that the summit will result on various agreement and action plans. Those are commitments," said Richard W. Spinrad, the U.S.' Assistant Administrator for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
