Projects 2019
Our pledge to support implemenation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 "Life Under Water" taking into account its links with other SDGs provides strong guidance for our continued efforts to link global issues - challenges and opportunities - to regional, national and local actors and actions. The youth contest for Mundus maris Awards and events to celebrate World Oceans Day will again feature on our agenda as part of connecting us all to the ocean and its improved protection. We shall continue with our awareness raising work in several countries and put additional effort in seeking partnerships with others to increase reach and effectiveness of activities with a focus on implementing year one of the small-scale fisheries academy in Senegal, open to expression of interest in other countries. The forthcoming UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) will see active preparations throughout this and the next year.
