Protecting the ocean in the Caribbean

Protecting the ocean in the Caribbean

Protecting the vitality of the Caribbean’s marine heritage is essential to its goal of becoming a climate-smart region and bolstering its natural defences against hurricanes and other natural disasters. A healthy ocean is also the prime attraction of its tourism industry, currently suffering crushing losses due to the disruption of the global pandemic. 

Strengthening partnerships and attracting further investment is one of the central goals of the CCI-CBF Virtual Week, co-organised by Ocean Unite, that will bring together governments, Caribbean conservation trust funds, partners and donors. It is an ideal opportunity to look beyond 2020 and scale up ambitions for ocean protection by supporting a new 30×30 target. 

The Caribbean and its people cannot thrive without a healthy, protected ocean. It has a chance to lead the world in becoming the first region to protect 30% of its ocean and inspire others to take up the challenge.
