Restoring Our Oceans: Taking a Community-Led Approach

30 Apr 2025
Nature, Land & Sea Forum
Communicate

The protection and restoration of marine ecosystems - such as coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass meadows - is vital for maintaining ocean health, enhancing climate resilience and supporting the communities who depend on these ecosystems and have long acted as their stewards.

In this session, we will discuss the importance of placing local stewardship and indigenous knowledge at the heart of ocean restoration efforts and the opportunities that exist for stakeholders looking to support community-centred conservation.
