Coastal and marine resources provide numerous benefits to humans, including food, transportation, employment, leisure, protection from climate change, and more. However, inclusive, and integrated development planning and management of resources are imperative to ensure that future generations can enjoy these benefits.
In response to this imperative, the Nairobi Convention collaborated with government ministries and agencies, NGOs, training/research organizations, and other stakeholders to undertake projects that actualized the Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme for the Protection of the Western Indian Ocean from Land-Based Sources and Activities (WIO-SAP) at the national level.
Details of the specific projects in South Africa are outlined in this dashboard.
