RETHINK FISHERIES! FOR THRIVING SEAS AND COMMUNITIES
KEYNOTE by Inka Cresswell
For decades, our seas have been dominated by industrial-scale, high-impact fisheries that employ destructive practices in the most vulnerable marine areas. Supported by subsidies and unfairly allocated quotas in the name of economic and food security, they in fact degrade and deplete our ocean and endanger the sustainability of the fishing industry. Even areas designated as “protected” continue to suffer from ecologically devastating activities, most notably bottom trawling.
But there’s hope. A growing movement of small-scale fishers, ocean lovers, and marine conservationists is demonstrating there’s a different, better way forward — and that by protecting the ocean, we protect ourselves.

WITH PIPPA EHRLICH, INKA CRESSWELL, ALASTAIR HARRIS, GILDASANDRIAMALALA & SWATI THIYAGARAJAN
Climate change is not an abstract forecast, it is a real, present and intensifying threat to our oceans and each and every person on our planet. This decade is our last chance to safeguard our future and without healthy seas, Earth cannot sustain life as we know it.
Our oceans harbour millions of species that underpin an infinite web of ecological networks, and remarkable ecosystems like mangroves and kelp forests have an important role to play in coastal protection, carbon sequestration and supporting vulnerable coastal communities. Hear from practitioners and storytellers working on the front lines of the ocean climate emergency about scalable solutions that offer hope for people and nature.
