Conserving Aquatic Biodiversity in the Context of the Africa Blue Economy Strategy (ABES)
Browse by
AU-IBAR, with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), is implementing a project on “Conserving Aquatic Biodiversity in African Blue Economy’, for three year’s period (starting in October 2021). The overall objective of the project is to enhance the policy environment, regulatory frameworks and institutional capacities of AU member states and regional economic communities to sustainably utilize and conserve aquatic biodiversity and ecosystems. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1. Ratify and/or align relevant international/regional instruments related to blue economy themes (with specific reference to protecting and conserving biodiversity) 2. Optimizing conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity while minimizing conflicts among blue economy sub-themes 3. Strengthening measures for mitigating the negative impacts of coastal and marine tourism, oil, gas, deep sea mining and climate change on aquatic biodiversity and environment. 4. Strengthening gender inclusivity in aquatic biodiversity conservation and environmental management
