Abstract

This thematic issue comprises several contributions presented during the session on Images and imaginaries of the sea at the IGU Thematic Conference: The Ocean and the Seas in Geographical Thought. Within the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), the Conference focused on marine spaces as complex and relational geographical “objects” through various focal points. Therefore, the session was committed to dealing with different visual representations of the oceans and their interconnections with other aspects of the natural world.
