Kenya is gearing up to host a key international ocean conference in Mombasa and Kilifi, aimed at protecting ocean resources and uplifting local communities.
The 11th Our Oceans Conference (OOC), scheduled for 11–18 June, is part of global efforts to protect 30 per cent of the oceans by 2030. The World Resources Institute (WRI) is the secretariat for the Ocean Conference.
Speakers are expected to address climate change and the unresolved issue of Illegal and Unreported (IUU) fishing, which threatens marine ecosystems, food security, and the livelihoods of law-abiding fishers.
