The Government of Liberia, Embassy of Sweden in Monrovia and Conservation International will convene the Blue Oceans Conference to address some of the most critical challenges affecting the marine and coastal environments, including the potential role integrated ocean management across Africa could have in strengthening the sustainable use of marine resources. The conference aims to identify innovative solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of Africa’s marine environment.

The Blue Oceans Conference builds upon the momentum of the UN Ocean Conference in New York, US, and the Sustainable Blue Economy Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, to create opportunities for African countries and relevant stakeholders to understand the challenges associated with marine governance and sustainable development, specifically regarding climate change impacts, pollution, unsustainable fishing practices, economic opportunities and maritime security.
