Our Ocean Conference

Hybrid Event, 16/06/2026 - 18/06/2026

"The Our Ocean Conference focuses on addressing the key ocean issues of our time, including climate change, biodiversity loss, food security, and pollution. The Conference will be held in Kenya from 16 to 18 June 2026, convening governments, NGOs, the private sector, and the academic community to identify action-based solutions and make tangible commitments.

This year’s theme - Our Ocean, Our Heritage, Our Future - celebrates the living connection between people and the ocean. It reflects the heritage, cultures, and coastal communities shaped by the sea, and it calls for a shared commitment to secure a resilient, just, and thriving ocean for generations to come. From ancient trading routes to modern innovation, the ocean is part of who we are. In 2026, Kenya invites the world to honor that heritage and work together for a healthier, more resilient ocean".
