President Hage Geingob yesterday launched the Transformations Document for a Sustainable Ocean Economy. The transformations document sets out a vision for good ocean management and a headline commitment to establish and enact Sustainable Ocean Plans by 2025, of which Namibia has already indicated willingness to participate in and to develop.
Said Geingob: "As our understanding grows of the significance of the oceans to life on this planet, so too do our responsibilities to value and protect this immense natural environment. Furthermore, as we consider the unparalleled value that oceans and the blue economy offer humanity, we must also be keenly aware of the biggest threats that humans pose to the oceans, and our responsibility to act quickly and collectively to redress them. This duality is the core of the blue economy concept."
