The 2022 Our Ocean Conference in Palau brought together national government representatives, international organizations, and ocean advocates from around the world to make commitments in support of tangible progress for protecting the ocean. The Conference served as an important milestone for amplifying the growing drumbeat for ocean action and funding.
The Conference was also the first one hosted by a small island developing state (SIDS), providing a unique opportunity to demonstrate the important role of SIDS, indigenous peoples, and local fishing communities have in sustainably managing ocean and coastal resources and protecting it from threats like overfishing and climate change.
Even with a small delegation, Rare convened partners, hosted events, and even took center stage to highlight our community-led approach to ocean conservation, as well as the importance of focusing on the territorial seas and coastal communities.
