Oceana Calls on Governments to Put Coastal Communities First at Our Ocean Conference in Kenya

Oceana is urging governments to prioritize the needs of coastal communities during the 11th annual Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, Kenya. Leading the charge, Kate Walsh will join Oceana to engage with small-scale fishers and amplify their voices in global ocean policy discussions. This initiative is crucial as it seeks to ensure that the perspectives and challenges faced by those directly dependent on coastal resources are reflected in international conservation strategies. The conference aims to make significant strides in ocean conservation, highlighting the importance of local input for effective global policies.
