#WorldOceanDay signals that healthy oceans are essential to life and the future of our planet. This connection is deeply personal for our people, and it directly impacts our economy, food security, and environmental sustainability.
We are advancing a forward-looking approach to ocean protection through sustainable fisheries, stronger marine research, reef health monitoring, coral restoration and rehabilitation, and evidence-based action to build resilience against climate change and protect our marine ecosystems for the wellbeing of our people and environment.
As ocean warming, coral bleaching, and coastal erosion accelerate, protecting the ocean requires greater urgency and stronger international cooperation. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to collective action and protect the ocean that sustains us all.
Since the enactment of the RTI Act in 2014, this marks the first time in the history of the Maldives that the President’s Office and all Ministries have achieved 100% compliance with proactive disclosure requirements. Information that had not previously been accessible to the public has now been made available.
Transparency is not merely a policy objective. This administration recognizes the fundamental right to information as a cornerstone of public trust and democratic governance. This is a significant step toward advancing transparency, strengthening public access to information, and increasing accountability.
As we reach this important milestone in our journey toward a more open and accountable government, I commend all institutions and public officials whose dedication made this achievement possible. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to continuing this meaningful work and enhancing public access to government information through digital platforms, ensuring greater civic engagement in government activities and decision-making.
