PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
The coastal and marine ecosystems of the West Indian Ocean offer unique biological diversity. At the same time, they are important for the food security and economic development of the coastal regions, with more than 60 million people whose livelihoods depend on the resources of these ecosystems. The coastal states in the region are Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Seychelles, Comoros, Mauritius and Réunion (France).
Increased global demand for natural resources such as fish, pollution, climate change and unsustainable economic activities threaten the region's coastal and marine resources. Collective leadership between states, the private sector and civil society actors is crucial for an inclusive and sustainable blue economy and ultimately for the protection of biodiversity in the region.
Objective
To improve cooperation between relevant regional and local actors in order to protect marine and coastal biodiversity in the West Indian Ocean region and use it in an environmentally friendly way.
Approach:
The project works in partnership with the Nairobi Convention, the intergovernmental legal framework and coordination mechanism for regional marine conservation in the Western Indian Ocean. The project engages a diverse range of stakeholders to address regional needs while achieving local impact. The project's approach
