We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love for our founder, Dr Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who sadly passed away last night. Asante sana for your kindness and support.

With the leadership of more than 20 Senators and Members of Congress, the Mexico Oceans Caucus was officially launched in the LXVI Legislature.
This multi-party platform brings together legislators united by a shared commitment to protect our oceans, seas, and coasts.
With the support of ICCF Mexico, the initiative aims to strengthen legislative cooperation, advance science-based policymaking, and promote a shared national agenda for the sustainable use and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems.
The Mexico Oceans Caucus reaffirms its mission to build, from within Congress, a future where the well-being of communities and the health of our oceans move forward together.
The ICCF Group wishes to thank:
