As efforts to re-energize East Africa’s blue economy get underway, ocean protection and conservation remain a key factor. The region takes pride in its rich marine biodiversity, a factor that positively impacts various economic activities, including fishing and tourism.

Key among these measures is the recently-launched Jahazi Project, an initiative led by Ascending Africa.

Understanding this gap is one of the most important conversations in global climate policy today.
