Global leaders, policymakers, conservationists and maritime stakeholders yesterday gathered in Mombasa for an international conference with calls for action to protect ocean resources.
At the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, delegates renewed calls for stronger ocean protection, sustainable fisheries management and increased investment in the blue economy.
Addressing the conference, a former United States Secretary of State John Kerry reflected on the evolution of the international Our Oceans Conference, which began during President Barack Obama’s administration as an experimental gathering in Washington and has since grown into a major annual global forum.
