Did you know? Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is estimated to cost Africa between US$11–13 billion every year, threatening food security, disrupting coastal livelihoods, and putting pressure on small-scale fisheries across the continent.

At the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, delegates explored how science-based fisheries management and community-led solutions could help reverse the trend and strengthen sustainable use of marine resources.

The key question: How can communities, governments, and institutions work together to protect fisheries and secure the future of Africa’s blue economy?

As the curtains closed on the 11th Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, Kenya used the closing ceremony to call for a shift from pledges to implementation, investment, and measurable impact.

Speaking during the ceremony, @PS_Betsy_Njagi said Kenya’s hosting of the conference had demonstrated that ocean protection and economic development are not competing priorities.

The PS pointed to the introduction of the first-ever Business and Investment Forum in the conference’s history as part of efforts to connect global commitments with private capital, innovation, and enterprise.

She also highlighted the participation of more than 150 young leaders, alongside scientists, researchers, and innovators, describing their contribution as key to shaping the future of ocean action.

“Kenya has shown that the blue economy is not merely a conservation agenda. It is an economic agenda, a jobs agenda, and a future generation agenda,” she said.

World leaders, policymakers, scientists, conservationists, and community representatives gathered in Mombasa for the official opening of the 11th Our Ocean Conference, with a unified call to shift from commitments to concrete action for ocean protection.

Speakers highlighted growing threats facing the ocean, from climate change and marine pollution to overfishing and biodiversity loss, while calling for stronger partnerships, sustainable blue economy investments, and accelerated conservation efforts.

From protecting marine ecosystems to creating jobs through ocean-based industries, leaders emphasized that safeguarding the ocean is both an environmental and economic priority.

As Kenya hosts OOC11 for the first time on African soil, the message from Mombasa was clear: the time for dialogue alone is over - action must follow.
