Our Ocean Panama 2023 will create a space for collaborative dialogue between heads of state, the 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, we 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.
This conference is held at a time when Climate Change, Marine pollution and the devastation of marine life have reached increasingly alarming levels due to the detrimental actions of mankind. The Conference is built around the commitment of different governments, businesses, and civil society to urge action that may enact policies that will promote and protect our ocean’s health. Commitments are voluntary, measurable, impactful actions with a clear timeframe toward a clean, healthy, and productive ocean.
