Conservation Action Café - Restoring Ocean Health

Why attend
Conservation Action Cafés aim to generate new partnerships, collect ideas and pledges, and discuss emerging issues. This highly interactive format will enable stakeholders to jointly create key outcomes. Facilitated by trained moderators, the two-hour Conservation Action Cafés will each be dedicated to a single Congress theme.
HideDescription
The ocean is home to a significant portion of Earth's biodiversity, yet with issues such as deep sea mining, noise pollution, and the need to protect the high seas, our global ocean faces many challenges. How can we ensure that the ocean's resources are managed well and that regulations, standards and guidelines for its wise use are implemented effectively? What is the urgency to protect our ocean? How can the Marseille Outcomes be used to guide and restore ocean health? Join us for a set of parallel, lively discussions, including context for some of the IUCN Motions related to the ocean, in this virtual café setting.
