Western Indian Ocean
The purpose of this virtual meeting will be to further the discussion on developing a Regional Ocean Governance Strategy for the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) on Monday 26 April 2021 from 15h00 –17h00 EAT.
The course was designed to raise awareness and build knowledge in the various disciplines associated with ocean governance. It was designed to build a core of experts on ocean governance in the WIO region. While the course highlighted the importance of the global ocean governance framework, it focused on the WIO region and emphasized the benefits of harmonizing ocean policies to promote a shared, integrated, and common approach to ocean management.
Here is a report of the October 2021 Focal Points meeting help in preparation for the 10th Conference of Parties of the Nairobi Convention.
