Our Ocean 2023 will create a space for collaborative dialogue between heads of state, private sector, civil society, and academic institutions to discuss how we can save our marine resources, promote sustainable use, and educate the public about our ocean.
Most importantly, the conference will bring attention to the critical importance of the implementation of well-connected systems of effective area-based management measures, including Marine Protected Areas, the development of the global blue economy and proposing innovative solutions to address marine pollution.
Areas of action
For Our Ocean 2023, Panama is focusing on the creation and implementation of Marine Protected Areas, the incentivization of a Blue Economy, and finding innovative solutions to address Marine Pollution.
