📢We are excited to announce a new international partnership between @WWF and GO-BC 📢

This partnership will promote equitable access to educational opportunities in #bluecarbon science across the globe, and increase capacity in regions where these ecosystems are at risk.

[George Elliot Biddulph @GeorgeBiddulph2]

Encouraging words from the Sustainable Ocean Planning panel, including GO-BC chair Bill Austin, who are driving home the vital message that

“we must consider local and indigenous knowledges if we are to produce a sustainable and equitable ocean plan”

#Decade_SOP #OceanDecade

[GO-BC official @official_GO_BC]

An important message from Jacqueline Uku, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research, who highlights the need for greater involvement of the Global South with Sustainable Ocean Planning.
