We are excited to announce the next webinar in the Commonwealth Blue Charter Blue Dialogue series, From Policy to Practice: Marine Action Partnership and Sustainable Coastal Fisheries Management.
The Blue Dialogue series provides a platform for Commonwealth Blue Charter members to share their experiences and best practices in tackling ocean challenges, with a focus on national-level initiatives.
Well-managed marine protected areas (MPAs) and fisheries can protect coral reefs, rejuvenate marine wildlife and ecosystems, provide jobs, and feed billions worldwide. Despite their promise, MPAs and sustainable fishery efforts often struggle to succeed due to a common problem – the lack of effective enforcement. Today, more than 60% of MPAs are not well-enforced, and $23 billion is lost annually to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Join us in this dialogue to discuss experiences with The Marine Action Partnership (MAP) for Sustainable Fisheries, a collaboration between Bahamian government agencies, TNC, and WildAid to address these challenges.
This event is open to all Commonwealth member country representatives, policymakers, and stakeholders.
