Great to be at #OOC11 in Mombasa 🌊 Key takeaways:
✅ Transparency is key to sustainable fisheries & the blue economy. #MombasaDeclaration is a major step forward
✅ Kenya's support 4 a #deepsea mining moratorium is a win for Africa's ocean.
Let's connect if youre here too!

[Global Fishing Watch @GlobalFishWatch]

80% of Earth’s biodiversity is found in the ocean 🌊

This #BiodiversityDay, we’re reminded that protecting marine life starts with understanding human activity at sea. Greater transparency can support stronger ocean conservation for generations to come.

🔵 New #OceanDecade paper calls to transform how ocean science is imagined, funded, and practiced, so that it reflects the values, priorities, and leadership of those impacted by ocean change.

Our work in Bagamoyo shows that when communities are engaged, projects don’t just succeed they thrive. ✨

From beehives in mangroves to alternative livelihoods, the Bagamoyo Entrepreneurs Group (BEG) proves that true conservation grows through ownership & shared responsibility.
